OPENAIRE OpenAire Datacite ZENODO Open Access 2024-01-01 Open AccessThe internal EJP SOIL project SERENA contributed to the evaluation of soil multifunctionality aiming at providing assessment tools for land planning and soil policies at different scales. By co-working with relevant stakeholders, the project provided co-developed indicators and associated cookbooks to assess and map them, to report both on soil degradation, soil-based ecosystem services and their bundles, under actual conditions and for climate and land-use changes, at the regional, national, and European scales. The present data was prepared according to the methodology of SERENA soil erosion control cookbook for the territory of Slovakia. The map of soil loss by water erosion (soil threat) was based on the RUSLE model. or the soil erosion control, the difference between the erosion map without vegetation (C-factor = 1) and the erosion map with vegetation was calculated.  The objective of SERENA project was to develop methods to calculate and map soil-based ecosystem services and soil threats.  To create the soil loss map we used theese data:   R factor - we used data from 100 automatic rain stations on minute rainfall for about 10-year period (national dataset)  K factor – we used the  source proposed in the cookbook from ESDAC  dataset: Soil Erodibility (K- Factor) High Resolution dataset for Europe  LS factor – we used the  source proposed in the cookbook from ESDAC dataset: LS-factor (Slope Length and Steepness factor) for Slovakia  C factor – we used LPIS database-this has information about crops on agricultural soil. We have values of C factor for all crops.  P factor – we used the source proposed in the cookbook from ESDAC dataset: P factor for Slovakia. This map has values about 0.99 for Slovakia, so P-factor does not have much effect on the resulting erosion.   The delivered map was prepared in GeoTIFF format in the resolution of 500 * 500 m.  Open AccessThe internal EJP SOIL project SERENA contributed to the evaluation of soil multifunctionality aiming at providing assessment tools for land planning and soil policies at different scales.

It is necessary to consider how the results have been obtained in order to decide on their relevance in relation to the intended purpose of reuse. These results are interesting from a scientific point of view, but their use for environmental management and policy issues should be done keeping the previous aspects in mind and complementing when necessary the provided results with the best available data.
