“…In this case, the PTF predictions are available at such a low spatial resolution (10 km postings) that a comparison with New Zealand point data was pointless. We also note that recent research is finding that local models usually perform better than global models (e.g., [32][33][34][35]).…”

This paper describes a new pedotransfer function (PTF) for the soil water content of New Zealand soils at seven specific tensions (0, −5, −10, −20, −40, −100, −1500 kPa) using explanatory variables derived from the S-map soil mapping system. The model produces unbiased and physically plausible estimates of the response at each tension, as well as unbiased and physically plausible estimates of the response differences that define derived properties (e.g., macroporosity and total available water content). The PTF is a development of an earlier model using approximately double the number of sites compared with the earlier study, a change in fitting methodology to a semi-parametric GAM Beta response, and the inclusion of sample depth. The results show that the new model has resulted in significant improvements for the soil water content estimates and derived quantities using standard goodness-of-fit measures, based on validation data. A comparison with an international PTF using explanatory variables compatible with variables available from S-map (EUPTF2) suggests that the model is better for prediction of soil water content using the limited information available from the S-map system.

“…These maps are publicly available and can be used for other monitoring or soil assessment projects and as a basis for national policymaking. The data can also be used for (i) further processing by a statistical model (according to the principles of Helfenstein et al, 2022) or (ii) the dynamic carbon turnover model RothC (Coleman & Jenkinson, 2014) for the assessment of the potential CO 2 sequestration in mineral agricultural soil (Lesschen et al, 2021) or (iii) for reporting CO 2 emissions and removals in mineral agricultural soils for the Land Use, Land Use Change, and Forestry (LULUCF) sector in the National Inventory Reports.…”

Soil functioning contributes to the delivery of a vast range of ecosystem goods and services, and ecosystem health is therefore reflected by the capacity of the soil to perform underlying functions. Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a key indicator for soil quality as it is an integral driver of many soil functions and associated ecosystem services. Across the globe, SOC stocks are declining due to expanding agriculture and unsustainable practices. Awareness of the fact that soil is a non‐renewable resource and its functioning important for all life on Earth is increasing, especially among policymakers. As such, goals for the preservation and restoration of SOC are formulated in policies under the European Green Deal. However, the evaluation of these goals at the European level is hampered by a non‐harmonized diversity in national SOC monitoring strategies. While some SOC indicators can be useful for the evaluation of most policy goals (i.e., baseline and potential SOC stocks), additional and contrasting SOC data are often required for the evaluation of the goals formulated by the different EU directives. This study provides an overview of five ongoing SOC monitoring programmes across Europe and discusses how national programmes may be aligned to evaluate goals at the EU level. Five countries with very different soil monitoring programmes were included in a case study to illustrate the potential for harmonization and standardization of SOC assessment. Based on this study, we conclude that SOC monitoring strategies can be harmonized, but not standardized. We further suggest five sampling strategies that have potential for harmonization under the proposed Directive on Soil Monitoring and Resilience.

“…This map was created from digital soil mapping, in which the data from the Soil Sampling Programme was used and linked to a whole range of other data, such as land use and topography (Figure 11.3). A pH map of the Netherlands has previously been made using this same digital soil mapping method, see Helfenstein et al (2022). The average C content of mineral soils under grassland and cropland has been calculated per 4-digit zip code area.…”

This report provides a complete methodological description and background information of the Dutch National System for Greenhouse gas reporting of the LULUCF sector. It provides detailed description of the methodologies, activity data and emission factors that were used. Each of the reporting categories Forest Land, Cropland, Grassland, Wetlands, Settlements, Other Land and Harvested Wood Products are described in a separate chapter.
