This dataset was produced during the Landmark project. We compared in this work a list of attributes to existing national (regional) and EU-wide soil monitoring networks.

After establishing the ranked list of attributes we investigated the incorporation of these attributes in existing monitoring schemes throughout Europe. A standard Excel spreadsheet was sent to Landmark consortium members and contacts from 18 European countries requesting detailed information on national SMNs (including long-term field experiments and extensive soil surveys), their sampling designs, measured parameters and analytical methods. For a number of countries no SMNs existed (Greece, Spain), or we were not able to get information on these.

This dataset corresponds to the data gathered and was used to produce the maps of the article : https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/aa9c5c
