SERENA EJPSOIL NL GHG NEP

The 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 dataset corresponds to a map of greenhouse gas emissions, measured in net ecosystem productivity. The map is the result of applying the GHG cookbook developed in SERENA/EJP-Soil. It is based on GPP products derived from the MODIS algorithm in 2014, combined with soil moisture and temperature data. The final map includes 45 bands with the NEP values (in g C/m2) of each 8-day period between 2-1-2014 and 31-12-2014. The map has a 500 m spatial resolution.
