1 Novel GIS and Remote Sensingbased techniques for soils at European scales F. Carré, T. Hengl, H.I. Reuter, L. Rodriguez-Lado G. Schmuck (LMNH Unit) & L. Montanarella (MOSES Action) 1

2 Framework of the project Soil Thematic Strategy Data support Data needs Communication European Soil Data Center OUR RESEARCH ACTIVITY Methods & Data 2

3 Innovation of the project From a scientific point of view Problem of traditional soil maps - traditional soil maps are not easy to understand (no methodology described, terminology understandable only by soil science community) Need quantitative methods to map easy to interpret attributes - soil attribute information can be missing at appropriate scale Need easy- to-use models (tools) for soil mapping - Usually soil attributes and classes are represented with crisp boundaries coming from expert interpretation and there is no indication of the soil map quality Need to evaluate the accuracy of the soil maps From an economic point of view Traditional soil surveys are very expensive because they need a lot of auger information Need sampling techniques for augering 3

4 Innovation in images Soil type map 4 uncertainty

5 Core of the methodology Core To provide quantitative soil data, producible at low cost and easyto-interpret-and-use (for other scientists and policy makers) How? By elaborating quantitative methods : - for mapping; - for estimating associated accuracy; Using easily accessible indirect soil information (auxiliary data) Name Digital Soil Mapping 5

31 Economic gain of DSM For physical soil parameters We consider that DSM allows for saving 2/3 of the sampling So for an area of 3700 km² where 1150 samples were measured, only 380 should be observed. 20 profile observations/ day can be done, paid around 150 Total cost: 2850 instead of 8625 (5775 i.e. 67% saved) For chemical soil parameters We consider that DSM allows for saving 1/3 of the sampling So for an area of 3700 km² where 1150 samples were measured, 770 should be measured. 1 profile measurement with 10 HMC + ph, OC, P, K, N is estimated to cost ~ Total cost: instead of (38000 saved i.e. 33%)

32 Economic gain of DSM For physical soil parameters: DSM allows for saving 2/3 of the sampling 1500 Km samples (3375 ) 150 samples (1125 ) 2250 SAVED For chemical soil parameters: DSM allows for saving 2/3 of the sampling Km samples (45000 ) 300 samples (30000 ) SAVED
