Soil Resources of Europe

Soil Surveys have been responsible for collecting & assembling info. about the soils of Europe for many years. Initially, the surveys produced paper maps at various scales, identifying the spatial dist. of the different types of soils, & provided analyses defining the nature & properties of the main soil units. Now, digital soil databases have info. on climate, geology, topography, hydrology & land use. These land info. systems provide data on soils & their interaction with these other facets of the environ. for use in dealing with problems of pollutant transfer, soil degradation, land contamination, & sustainable land use.
