Find Below the list of European Soil Databases Available at scale 1:250.000With the current application of modelling, the need for quantitative soil parameters is increasing. Numerical data with spatial and temporal references and a formalization of methods to process them are now required. The scale and the precision of the 1:1,000,000 database do no longer suffice to ensure the harmonization in methodology between the various soil survey organizations and to meet the needs for specific soils information. The 1:250,000 scale seems a good intermediate level for linking the data stored in the 1:1,000,000 database with those of small areas covered by national studies.
The European Soil Bureau Network recommended and endorsed the preparation of a georeferenced soil database for Europe at scale 1:250,000. The Manual of Procedures Version 1.1 (Georeferenced Soil Database for Europe, EUR 18092) sets out the proposed methodology, the concepts, the structure and the implementation of the new soil database. the following Countries. The Suitability of the 1:250,000 Soil Database has been shown by a number of applications which have already been made in different European countries:
