{"@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Dataset", "@id": "https://doi.org/10.5878/8vhz-5314", "name": "Data for: Implications of land cover classification on soil carbon monitoring \u2013 comparing LUCAS and Swedish soil inventories", "description": "The dataset contains two data files (LUCAS_BlockParcel_compiled_F.tsv and InventoriesSE_F.tsv) underlying the manuscript comparing the Land Use/Land Cover Area Frame Survey (LUCAS) and the Swedish national soil inventory on agricultural soils. Both data files are compiled files: LUCAS_BlockParcel_compiled_F.tsv is based on LUCAS and the Swedish Land Parcel Identification System (LPIS), while InventoriesSE_F.tsv is based on the Swedish crop and soil inventory on arable land (SLU environmental monitoring and assessment; agricultural landscapes programme) and the Swedish forest inventory (SLU environmental monitoring and assessment; forests programme), which covers semi-natural grassland.\n\nLUCAS_BlockParcel_compiled_F.tsv: 93 columns, 188 rows\nRaw LUCAS land cover and 0-20 cm topsoil dataset for the years 2009, 2015 and 2018 were obtained from the European Soil Data Centre. We filtered the dataset to include only sampling points classified as cropland or grassland in the Land Cover column, resulting in 187 resampled locations in Sweden. Agricultural blocks and parcel database are obtained from Block and parcel database were downloaded from the Swedish Board of Agriculture (https://jordbruksverket.se/e-tjanster-databaser-och-appar/e-tjanster-och-databaser-stod/kartor-och-gis, accessed in July 2025). We created LUCAS soil sampling points layers using GPS coordinates and projected to SWEREF99 TM to do spatial join with block and parcel database. The geospatial block database (jordbruksblock) delineates farmers\u2019 agricultural blocks based on land types (\u00e4goslag), while the parcel database (jordbruksskifte or skifte) further divides the blocks into parcels that contain attributes of crop type, growing area and type of support, etc. (Wid\u00e9n-Nilsson et al., 2025). Because the routine for updating the block database and the year it represents changed in 2009, the block from the following year should be used to match the crop data for 2009 onward, and any unmatched records should subsequently be matched with the block dataset from the same year (Wid\u00e9n-Nilsson et al., 2025). Thus, we spatially joined LUCAS sampling points from 2009, 2015, and 2018 with the block database to obtain land type attributes. Before 2012, the parcel database had very limited spatial coverage of agricultural land. However, crop information for parcels applying for support was available as text files. These files could be matched with the block database using the block ID to identify which crops were grown within each block. Crop data were added as follows: for 2009, we extracted all parcels associated with each LUCAS sampling location using Block IDs and calculated the crop composition per block based on cultivated area; for 2015 and 2018, crop type attributes were added directly via spatial join with the parcel database. The geodesic distances for the same point between sampling rounds were calculated. Spatial data processing was conducted in ArcGIS Pro with arcpy. Changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) content between sampling year 2009, 2015 and 2018 were calculated. \n\nInventoriesSE_F.tsv: 25 columns, 1734 rows\nThe Swedish Soil and Crop Inventory on arable land began its second sampling cycle (2001-2007) with the recording of precise geographic coordinates, and a decade later (2011-2017), the same locations were resampled for 0-20 cm soil depth, resulting in 1,821 revisited sampling points. The Swedish Semi-Natural Grassland Inventory sampled soil at 0-10 cm depth, with 63 revisited sampling points available during the two similar inventory periods (2003-2009 and 2013-2019). To enable a direct comparison of SOC change estimates focusing on mineral soils, we further excluded sampling points located on organic soils, with high carbonate content (SOC > 16%, CaCO3 > 5%) and those missing particle size data from the two national inventories. SOC was reported as a percentage of soil mass, and changes in SOC were expressed as the absolute difference in percentage throughout this study.\n\nData has been generated as part of SLU's environmental monitoring and assessment from the Soil and Crop Inventory (Agricultural Lanscapes) and the Swedish Forest Soil Inventory (Forest Landscapes) programs.", "identifier": [{"@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "DOI", "value": "10.5878/8vhz-5314"}, {"@type": "PropertyValue", "name": "principalRegistrationNumber", "propertyID": "https://www.rikstermbanken.se/termposter/1848/diarienummer", "value": "SLU.ekol.2026.4.2.I\u00c4-2"}], "citation": {"@type": "CreativeWork", "name": "Article has been accepted in European Journal of Soil Science in June 2026 but not yet published.", "identifier": {"@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "DOI", "value": "10.1111/ejss.70369"}}, "conditionsOfAccess": ["http://publications.europa.eu/resource/authority/access-right/PUBLIC", "info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess"], "creativeWorkStatus": {"@type": "DefinedTerm", "name": "completed", "identifier": "http://publications.europa.eu/resource/authority/dataset-status/COMPLETED", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://publications.europa.eu/resource/authority/dataset-status", "termCode": "COMPLETED"}, "creator": [{"@type": "Person", "@id": "https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1671-9613", "name": "Rong Lang", "affiliation": {"@type": "Organization", "@id": "https://ror.org/02yy8x990", "name": "Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences", "department": {"@type": "Organization", "name": "Department of Ecology"}}, "email": "rong.lang@slu.se", "familyName": "Lang", "givenName": "Rong"}, {"@type": "Person", "@id": "https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3574-3061", "name": "Martin A.

SCS also provides ecosystem services to society such as increased soil quality and fertility. There is, however, a need to quantify SCS rates that can be realized in Sweden. This project addresses the effect of management practices (MPs) including crop types, crop rotations and cover crops on SCS. The impact of these MPs is assessed at regional and national level, considering differences in farming systems and the interactions of SCS with climate change. To achieve these objectives, we will synthesize and develop new empirical knowledge from long-term field experiments and spatio-temporal soil inventories, and integrate this data with novel modelling concepts to predict SCS. These models will present an advanced understanding of processes regulating SCS, and provide realistic SCS rates and associated uncertainties under Swedish conditions. Outcomes from the project will be applicable for guiding policies, and for improving extension service tools at the farm scale. The project team includes world-leading scientists, and a multi-stakeholder advisory panel will ensure the involvement and expertise from the public and agri-business sectors for constructing representative scenarios of changes in MPs promoting SCS.", "identifier": "2022-00214_Formas", "funder": {"@type": "Organization", "@id": "https://ror.org/03pjs1y45", "name": "Formas"}}, {"@type": "Grant", "name": "Impacts of drought on grassland production and SOC stocks in a future climate", "description": "Severe droughts are expected to become more frequent in a future climate. Water availability controls crop growth, which in turn has direct and indirect effects on flows of energy, water, carbon (C), and nutrients in the soil-plant system. For grasslands, there are indications that drought may alter the partitioning of above- and below-ground production, with more C being allocated to the root system. Microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) may also change in a warmer climate. The amount of root-derived C that can be stored in the soil therefor difficult to predict in a future climate climate. Soil C models assume that the C supply from plants is a fixed input unaffected by climate. On the other hand, the \u00a0interactions between soil water dynamics and plant growth in existing crop models are generally poorly described, although they have a significant impact on C dynamics. In this four-year project, we will develop a new model that will account for dynamic feedbacks between soil hydrology, plant growth, and microbial activity. It will be tested against data from the Tereno-SoilCan lysimeter network in Germany and a field experiment in Sweden with grass subjected to drought and control treatments.", "identifier": "2022-00307_Formas", "funder": {"@type": "Organization", "@id": "https://ror.org/03pjs1y45", "name": "Formas"}}], "inLanguage": [{"@type": "Language", "@id": "http://lexvo.org/id/iso639-3/eng", "name": "English", "alternateName": "eng", "identifier": "eng"}, {"@type": "Language", "@id": "http://lexvo.org/id/iso639-3/swe", "name": "Swedish", "alternateName": "swe", "identifier": "swe"}], "isBasedOn": ["https://esdac.jrc.ec.europa.eu/resource-type/datasets", "https://jordbruksverket.se/e-tjanster-databaser-och-appar/e-tjanster-och-databaser-stod/kartor-och-gis", "https://www.slu.se/en/environment/statistics-and-environmental-data/environmental-data-catalogue/environmental-data-mvm/", "https://www.slu.se/en/about-slu/organisation/departments/forest-resource-management/miljoanalys/nfi/"], "isPartOf": "https://doi.org/10.5878/pkfy-dr47", "keywords": [{"@type": "DefinedTerm", "name": "Environmental Sciences", "termCode": "10502"}, {"@type": "DefinedTerm", "name": "Agricultural Science", "description": "Including: Plant Genetics, Agricultural Ecology, Agricultural Technology, Agricultural History", "termCode": "40101"}, {"@type": "DefinedTerm", "name": "Soil Science", "description": "Biogeophysics Biogeochemistry, Soil Microbiology, Plant-Soil Interactions", "termCode": "40106"}, {"@type": "DefinedTerm", "@id": "http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/metadata-codelist/TopicCategory/environment", "name": "Environment", "description": "Environmental resources, protection and conservation.", "termCode": "environment"}, {"@type": "DefinedTerm", "@id": "http://www.eionet.europa.eu/gemet/concept/1632", "name": "comparison", "description": "The placing together or juxtaposing of two or more items to ascertain, bring into relief, or establish their similarities and dissimilarities.", "termCode": "1632"}, {"@type": "DefinedTerm", "@id": "http://vocabs.lter-europe.net/EnvThes/20816", "name": "soil carbon", "termCode": "20816"}, {"@type": "DefinedTerm", "@id": "http://vocabs.lter-europe.net/EnvThes/20117", "name": "inventory", "description": "[GEMET] A detailed list of articles, goods, property, etc.", "termCode": "20117"}, {"@type": "DefinedTerm", "@id": "http://vocabs.lter-europe.net/EnvThes/21335", "name": "environmental monitoring", "description": "[ENVO] An process in which environmental parameters and variables are continually assayed.", "termCode": "21335"}, {"@type": "DefinedTerm", "@id": "http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/theme/lc", "name": "Land cover", "description": "Physical and biological cover of the earth's surface including artificial surfaces, agricultural areas, forests, (semi-)natural areas, wetlands, water bodies.", "termCode": "lc"}, {"@type": "DefinedTerm", "@id": "http://aims.fao.org/aos/agrovoc/c_37897", "name": "land cover", "termCode": "c_37897"}, {"@type": "DefinedTerm", "@id": "http://aims.fao.org/aos/agrovoc/c_4182", "name": "land use", "termCode": "c_4182"}, {"@type": "DefinedTerm", "name": "soil and crop inventory"}, {"@type": "DefinedTerm", "name": "SLU environmental monitoring and assessment"}], "license": "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/", "publisher": {"@type": "Organization", "@id": "https://ror.org/02yy8x990", "name": "Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences", "url": "http://www.slu.se/"}, "size": [{"@type": "QuantitativeValue", "unitText": "cases", "value": 1820}, {"@type": "QuantitativeValue", "unitText": "variables", "value": 118}], "spatialCoverage": {"@type": "Place", "@id": "http://sws.geonames.org/2661886", "name": "Sweden"}, "temporalCoverage": "2001/2019", "distribution": [{"@type": "DataDownload", "name": "data/InventoriesSE_F.tsv", "additionalType": "data", "conditionsOfAccess": ["http://publications.europa.eu/resource/authority/access-right/PUBLIC", "info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess"], "contentSize": "310139", "contentUrl": "https://api.researchdata.se/dataset/2025-364/1/file/data?filePath=InventoriesSE_F.tsv", "encodingFormat": "text/tab-separated-values"}, {"@type": "DataDownload", "name": "data/LUCAS_BlockParcel_compiled_F.tsv", "additionalType": "data", "conditionsOfAccess": ["http://publications.europa.eu/resource/authority/access-right/PUBLIC", "info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess"], "contentSize": "129630", "contentUrl": "https://api.researchdata.se/dataset/2025-364/1/file/data?filePath=LUCAS_BlockParcel_compiled_F.tsv", "encodingFormat": "text/tab-separated-values"}, {"@type": "DataDownload", "name": "documentation/README_revised.txt", "additionalType": "documentation", "conditionsOfAccess": ["http://publications.europa.eu/resource/authority/access-right/PUBLIC", "info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess"], "contentSize": "23894", "contentUrl": "https://api.researchdata.se/dataset/2025-364/1/file/documentation?filePath=README_revised.txt", "encodingFormat": "text/plain"}], "version": "1"}
