SERENA EJPSOIL IE MEATH GHG NEP

Description

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. Data for NEP analysis was provided through the Microsoft Teams shared folder. However, MODIS data was obtained using the MODISTools R package in RStudio (R 4.3.1). Nine MODIS tiles to cover the extent of Ireland were merged and exported to QGIS for analysis.  An 8-day NEP analysis was conducted for the entirety of the Republic of Ireland under wheat crop from 02-09 of January. However, wheat production in Ireland is largely centred around several key regions in the east/central-east due to the relative dominance of grassland and alternative agricultural regimes elsewhere. This resulted in quite a sparse visualisation at national scale. Hence, a refined analysis for the same period in County Meath
