title: SERENA EJPSOIL PL EROSION SOIL LOSS

description: General description of SERENA

The internal EJP SOIL project SERENA contributed to the evaluation of soil multifunctionality aiming at providing assessment tools for land planning and soil policies at different scales. By co-working with relevant stakeholders, the project provided co-developed indicators and associated cookbooks to assess and map them, to report both on soil degradation, soil-based ecosystem services and their bundles, under actual conditions and for climate and land-use changes, at the regional, national, and European scales.

Files description

Data was prepared as a result of SERENA EJP SOIL. The attached files are a part of the analysis of Assessment of Soil Threats and Ecosystem Services from each MS with the harmonized procedures. SERENA deliverable 3.3 (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13991087). The RUSLE method was used to prepare the attached files. All attached GeoTIFFs were described below:

SERENA_EJPSOIL_PL_EROSION__K_factor_2018.tif

The result of modelling K factor - soil-erodibility factor 

SERENA_EJPSOIL_PL_EROSION_C_factor_2018.tif

The result of modelling C factor - land cover and management factor

SERENA_EJPSOIL_PL_EROSION_LS_factor_2018.tif

The result of modelling LS factor - slope length and steepness factor (Source: https://esdac.jrc.ec.europa.eu/themes/slope-length-and-steepness-factor-ls-factor)

SERENA_EJPSOIL_PL_EROSION_P_factor_2018.tif

The result of modelling P factor - support practices factor (Source: https://esdac.jrc.ec.europa.eu/themes/support-practices-factor)

SERENA_EJPSOIL_PL_EROSION_R_factor_2018.tif

The result of modelling R factor -erosivity factor (rainfall event's ability to cause soil water erosion)

SERENA_EJPSOIL_PL_EROSION_SOIL_LOSS_2018.tif

SERENA_EJPSOIL_PL_EROSION_SOIL_LOSS_MAX_EROSION_2018.tif

Total maximum soil erosion loss by water modelled for agricultural soils in Poland for 2018 (Excluding C factor) (Map unit: Mg ha−1 yr−1)
description: The data are derived from the calculation of indicators based on a standard methodology established as part of the EJP Soil SERENA programme. Please keep in mind that:






It is the result of a modelling exercise and does not necessarily reflect reality.




Despite the efforts made to provide reliable data, the results may contain inconsistencies, depending in particular on the raw data available and level of accuracy of the techniques chosen and their prior knowledge .




It is necessary to consider how the results have been obtained in order to decide on their relevance in relation to the intended purpose of reuse.




These results are interesting from a scientific point of view, but their use for environmental management and policy issues should be done keeping the previous aspects in mind and complementing when necessary the provided results with the best available data.





==> Finally, it is the responsibility of the users of this information to decide whether it is appropriate to use these data and whether the data meet their needs. The authors of this resource can in no way be held responsible for the results obtained from the use of this data.
