LUCAS Soil Component: proposal for analysing new physical, chemical and biological soil parameters

The aim of LUCAS (Land Use/land Cover Area frame Survey) Soil Component was to create a harmonised and comparable dataset of physical and chemical parameters of topsoil at the EU.

In 2015, the Topsoil Survey was repeated in the same set of points of LUCAS 2009/2012 for monitoring changes in topsoil physical and chemical parameters across the EU.

This technical report is a proposal for analysing new physical, chemical and biological soil parameters within the forthcoming LUCAS Soil Surveys.
