LUCAS 2018 TOPSOIL dataset
<https://esdac.jrc.ec.europa.eu/content/lucas-2018-topsoil-data>

Topsoil data for 18,984 samples from LUCAS 2018 are available as a CSV file
and, to facilitate use of the data, an ESRI shapefile containing the
theoretical points to which the taken samples. The measured properties
include: pH (CaCl2 and H2O), organic carbon content, CaCO3, nitrogen,
phosphorous, potassium, EC (Electrical conductivity), Oxalate extractable
Fe and Al. In addition, this dataset includes further modules of LUCAS
2018: a) erosion b) assessment of organic soils and Bulk Density. Further
data on the LUCAS 2018 will follow in the future. Data available at:

Report on LUCAS 2018 Soil Module
<https://esdac.jrc.ec.europa.eu/public_path/shared_folder/dataset/75-LUCAS-SOIL-2018/JRC_Report_2018%20LUCAS_Soil_Final-v2.pdf>

This report presents the soil dataset collected as part of the 2018 Land
Use/Cover Area frame statistical Survey’ (generally referred to as LUCAS
Soil Module). It presents an overview of the various laboratory analyses
and describes the spatial variability of soil properties by land cover (LC)
class and a comparative analysis of the soil properties for NUTS 2 regions.
This is the 3rd iteration of LUCAS Soil, covering all EU Member States in a
six month window of 2018. The LUCAS Soil module is the only mechanism that
currently provides a harmonised and regular collection of soil data for the
entire territory of the EU.

EU Soil Observatory 2021
<https://esdac.jrc.ec.europa.eu/public_path/shared_folder/doc_pub/EUR31152.pdf>

The purpose of this report is to provide a synthesis of the achievements of
the EU Soil Observatory (EUSO) during its first year of existence. The EUSO
aims to become the principal provider of reference data and knowledge at
EU-level for all matters relating to soil. The EUSO will be a dynamic and
inclusive platform that supports EU soil-related policymaking by providing
its stakeholder base with the knowledge and data flows needed to safeguard
and restore soils. The first EUSO Stakeholder Forum was attended by over
1,000 participants over a three-day period in October 2021. It succeeded in
bringing together an EUSO community and in establishing a two-way dialogue
with its user base. A summary of the event is presented in this report.

*Save the date: 24-26 October 2022—2nd EUSO Stakeholder Forum*

The 2nd European Soil Observatory (EUSO) stakeholder forum will be a 3-days
event in October. The developments of the various working groups will be
presented in this second Forum. Save the date for 24-26 October. Details
will follow soon.

Online consultation

about the development of a new EU soil legislation*

The Commission intends to consult the wider public and stakeholders with
more in-depth knowledge. The Commission wants to ensure that the general
public interest across the EU is well reflected in the impact assessment
and the proposal for a soil health law by collecting feedback, ideas,
information and opinions including policy briefs, studies, data on the
drivers and the extent of the problem, costs and impacts, policy objectives
and options. The consultation is open till 24 October 2022 in the following
