- Statement
- Topsoil organic carbon concentrations were summarised at every 1 km grid cell where predictions exist from all eight of the compared digital soil maps. Most of the maps used to generate our dataset reflect the topsoil conditions of approximately the year, 2007 at a spatial resolution of 1 km; however, two maps at 250 m resolution were derived from a global soils database, and one map (1 km) from a European database, that include much older topsoil samples. A second map (500 m resolution) developed for Europe covers soil samples taken in 2009. The first step before comparing the eight maps was to harmonise them to the same coordinate reference system (EPSG: 27700 / British National Grid) and grid resolution (1 km). Reprojection to British National Grid was done using tools in ArcMap, with all eight maps aligned to the Ordnance Survey (OS) 1 km grid system. Resampling to 1 km grids was undertaken on the two ISRIC maps and two JRC maps (see “Description”) by taking the means of all grid cells that occurred within each 1 km grid represented by the OS 1 km grid system. All layers have been checked to ensure they conform to the same spatial extent, resolution, and coordinate reference system. The mean and standard deviation layers contain only positive values up to a maximum value of 550 g kg-1 (the theoretical upper limit of soil organic carbon concentration).
