A higher resolution is sought here.
Any help or link which provide credible, georeferenced reference soil sample with chemical analysis will be better. The details will be used to publish an ongoing report on soil properties of this ecoregion.
Thank you in advance.
You might do worse than try the WEPAL program organisers at Wageningen University
Shortly: Contact suitable data providers.
In more details. Do you really mean "any", or are you just interested in soil data originating from SW Hungary? In latter case, some soil related geographers from University of Pécs (e.g.: Dénes Lóczy, Szabolcs Czigány), or my institute could help you.
In any case, please specify your demads in more details (e.g: "the reference soil sample" does not exist, there are only observations, which might be representative for a given region, while representativness is also an object- specific feature).
Dear László Pásztor, Thank you for the prompt answer, I need this data from the so-called representative soil sample.
- https://esdac.jrc.ec.europa.eu/content/chemical-properties-european-scale-based-lucas-topsoil-data
- 6 study sites at the Mecseck Hills (I have coordinates)
- depth range of 5 to 25 cm
- chemical properties (see above link)
- resolution range 50 m to 1km
- Year: latest the better
PS: I shall reach out to the mentioned colleagues soon, again much gratitude.
Dear Krishan Kaushik,
LUCAS data can be freely downloaded from ESDAC portal after registration.
https://esdac.jrc.ec.europa.eu/content/lucas-2018-topsoil-data#tabs-0-description=1
I already got the link from the EU database, but it is for the whole Europe scale, so it is not applicable in my case.
I need the chemical analysis details like:
clay |silt |sand |coarse fragments |pH |Organic Carbon Content |
CaCO3 |nitrogen |phosphorous |potassium |Electrical conductivity |
(what we have in the above link) for the Mecsek Hills (SW Hungary).
You should filter the database for selected features and locations.
Anyway, LUCAS observations are not necesseraly representative for the ecoregion, where they are located, however they can be used to represent it.
