  6. Core How? DSM basic principles To provide quantitative soil data, producible at low cost and easy-to-interpret-and-use (for other scientists and policy makers) To elaborate quantitative methods : - for mapping; - for estimating associated accuracy; Using easily accessible indirect soil information (auxiliary data) Carré & Montanarella

  7. DSM outputs vs traditional maps Soil type map uncertainty Carré & Montanarella

  8. DSM principles Soil observations Auxiliary data Soil inference system (spatial, attribute) Soil attributes Soil classes Spatial accuracy Carré & Montanarella

  9. Point observations • 1142 samples over 3700 km2: contents of Cu, Pb, Ni, Zn Carré & Montanarella

  17. The European Soil Context Main target Main Political frames Make a sustainable use of soil The new Soil Thematic Strategy  To preserve soil functions against threats The Reform of the Common Agricultural Policy  To solve the dilemma producing food while preserving the environment (air, water, soil) The UN Conventions on Climate Change, Desertification & Biodiversity  To fight against soil desertification & to preserve biodiversities  To limit greenhouses gases Carré & Montanarella

  18. The European Soil Thematic Strategy -Basics-  It is been adopted by the EU Commission the 22nd of September 06  It is built to fill the gaps in terms of soil protection between existing soil related politics  It is based on the fundamental that soil is a non renewable resource  The objectives are for the EU countries to adopt specific measures for protecting soil functions against soil degradations  The specific measures are addressed in a 10 years agenda Carré & Montanarella

  19. The European Soil Thematic Strategy Recognized threats Recognized functions Agricultural threats Flooding (COM179/2002) EC (COM231/2006) EC (COM231/2006) -Functions against Threats- Erosion OM decline Compaction Salinisation Biomass production Landslide Storage, filtration & transformation of nutrients, substances and water Contamination Sealing Physical and Cultural medium Carbon pool Biodiversity pool Source of raw material Geologic & archaeologic heritage Carré & Montanarella

  20. The European Soil Thematic Strategy PREVENTION DSM IDENTIFICATION ACTION -Obligations for EU states- • Integration into sectorial politics • Precautionary measures • Preventing contaminations • Measures to limit and avoid soil sealing • Identification of risk areas for the “agricultural threats”- 5 yrs • Identification of contaminated sites - 25 yrs • Program of Measures • National Remediation Strategy Carré & Montanarella

  23. Example of applications Soil observations ‘scorpan’ layers Soil inference system (spatial, attribute) Soil attributes Soil classes Spatial accuracy Soil functions Soil threats Modelling potential erosion in Europe Use for forecasting the soil erosion dynamics Carré & Montanarella

  24. Soil observations ‘scorpan’ layers Soil inference system (spatial, attribute) Soil attributes Soil classes Spatial accuracy Soil functions Soil threats Modelling changes in soil erosion during one decade Climate (WorldClim) European Soil Database Biomass (NDVI from MODIS) Relief (SRTM) Time (1990-2000) PESERA Model Soil crusting Potential erosion Carré & Montanarella

  25. Changes in soil erosion between 1990 and 2000 Carré & Montanarella Work done by S. Selvaradjou

  26. Conclusions For Europe  All the threats have to be delineated at the European scale and by EU countries  In order to take precautionary measures against soil degradation, research should be done on - Soil functions modelling (Working Group) - Scenario modelling with necessary time series soil data acquisition For the World Consortium of Global Digital Soil Mapping (initiative of ISRIC)  Big effort for delivering maps of soil properties at 90 m resolution  The soil properties should be then used for modelling threats and functions Carré & Montanarella
