This dataset corresponds to a list of attributes with metadata produced by the WP2 team of the Landmark H2020 project. This list was compiled based on the requirements of the diagnostic approach and the preferences of Work Package 3 for soil function modeling procedure.The list contains four categories of attributes: 5. “Soil horizon attributes” required to successfully derive diagnostic horizons/properties/materials and qualifiers;6. “Soil attributes” which contain physical/chemical/biological and other derived attributes;7. “Environmental attributes” which contain attributes needed to characterize of the surroundings of the soils (eg.: topography, climatic properties);8. “Management attributes” which contain attributes regarding to management practices (eg.: irrigation, manuring, fertilization, pest control, weed management, grassland management, mechanization). The LANDMARK proposal builds on the concept that soils are a finite resource that provides a range of ecosystem services known as “soil functions”. Functions relating to agriculture include: primary productivity, water regulation & purification, carbon-sequestration & regulation, habitat for biodiversity and nutrient provision & cycling. Tradeoffs between these functions may occur: for example, management aimed at maximising primary production may inadvertently affect the ‘water purification’ or ‘habitat’ functions. This has led to conflicting management recommendations and policy initiatives. There is now an urgent need to develop a coherent scientific and practical framework for the sustainable management of soils. LANDMARK will uniquely respond to the breadth of this challenge by delivering (through multi-actor development): 1. LOCAL SCALE: A toolkit for farmers with cost-effective, practical measures for sustainable (and context specific) soil management.2. REGIONAL SCALE - A blueprint for a soil monitoring scheme, using harmonised indicators: this will facilitate the assessment of soil functions for different soil types and land-uses for all major EU climatic zones.3. EU SCALE – An assessment of EU policy instruments for incentivising sustainable land management.
