INSPIRE - CARBIOSOL - Predicted total organic carbon levels - 2015-2019 period in Wallonia (BE)

Description

This INSPIRE data layer shows the total organic carbon content in agricultural soils in Wallonia for the period 2015-2019. This INSPIRE compliant data comes from the CARBIOSOL source data - Predicted Total Organic Carbon Contents - 2015-2019 period. The quality of a soil can be assessed through the study of various physical, chemical or biological parameters. Among these parameters, soil organic carbon, which constitutes more than 50% of the mass of soil organic matter, is generally considered the main indicator of soil quality, both for its agricultural and environmental functions. This data layer is the mapping of Total Organic Carbon (TOC) levels for soils under crops and permanent grassland in the Walloon Region for a period between 2015 and 2019. The layer was created by spatial modeling method developed by UCLouvain as part of the CARBIOSOL convention and then transmitted to REQUASUD for data processing 2015-2019. For more details on the mapping layers generated in the CARBIOSOL project, please refer to the metadata sheet documenting the data layer series. In each pixel, the Total Organic Carbon (TOC) content is expressed in grams of carbon per kilogram of dry fine earth (gC/kg). The output of the model is a raster layer of TOC contents at 90 meters resolution and spatially continuous on the Walloon agricultural territory. The average TOC levels observed for soils (surface horizons) under crops and permanent grassland over the period 2015-2019 were 1.33 gC/kg and 3.67 gC/kg respectively, according to the RéQuaSud database. During the same period, 3.6% of the areas under crops had TOC contents < 1 gC kg-1 and 79% had contents < 1.5 gC/kg. The reader will find more explanations in the fact sheet of the Walloon State of the Environment dedicated to soil organic matter based on data from this layer: http://etat.environnement.wallonie.be/contents/indicatorsheets/SOLS%202.html Between 2015 and 2019, the TOC content of soils for both land uses tends to increase from north-west to south-east, from the sandy-loamy region to the Ardennes region, and to decrease in the Jurassic region.
