Dataset: European catchments and Rivers network system (Ecrins), lakes and reservoirs - version 1, Jun. 2012
- Contact point
- European Environment Agency (sdi@eea.europa.eu)
This dataset contains the “lakes” datasets of Ecrins v1.0. Lakes are very important features of any hydrographical system and have hence been added to Ecrins. This feature is more uncertain than the other ones since it results from the processing of different sources under a twin constraint of relevance and free of charges accessibility. The current layer comprises 70,847 lake objects, that will c ... (read more)
Dataset: EUNIS habitat type F9.1b, predicted habitat suitability - version 1, June 2016
- Contact point
- European Environment Agency (sdi@eea.europa.eu)
The modelled suitability for the EUNIS habitat type is an indication of where conditions are favourable for the habitat type based on sample plot data (Braun-Blanquet database) and the Maxent software package. The modelled suitability map may be used as a proxy for the geographical distribution of the habitat type. Note however that it is not representing the actual distribution of the habitat typ ...

Dataset: Cadmium (Cd) concentration in topsoils, Sep. 2007
Maps of estimated total cadmium concentrations in soils using 1588 geo-referenced topsoil samples from the FOREGS Geochemical database. The concentrations were interpolated using block regression-kriging over the 26 European countries that contributed to the database. Heavy metal contents are expressed in mg kg-1. This metadata record is adapted from the orginal one received from JRC.
Dataset: European catchments and Rivers network system (Ecrins), ancillary data sets - version 1, Jun. 2012
- Contact point
- European Environment Agency (sdi@eea.europa.eu)
This dataset contains different ancillary datasets of Ecrins v1.0. The most relevant feature class is the C_dams that documents the dams that have a position accurately recorded. Hence this layer is likely to be updated if new coordinates are obtained (coordinates and dams update is a continuous work by the EEA). Dams are related to river segments and to lakes. It may happen that a dam is not rela ... (read more)
