  • The Soil Atlas 2015 presents facts and figures about earth, land and fields; its broad ranging significance and its current state in Germany, Europe and the world.

    Price explosions and land speculation, increasing soil loss as a result of erosion and sealing, the effects globalized agro-industry on production and food availability across the globe, the problems associated with the virtual import of agricultural land and land distribution:

    The Soil Atlas 2015 provides insights into the current state of the soils on which we depend and highlights the threats posed to them in numerous illustrations and texts.

    The Soil Atlas 2015 informs, to improves the ability of consumers to make informed decisions, and sketches out pathways to a responsible agriculture and soils policy.

    • The European Digital Archive of Soil Maps (EuDASM) was initiated by the MOSES (Monitoring the State of European Soil) action team members of the Soil and Waste Unit (SWU) in the Institute of Environment and Sustainability (IES), located at the Joint Research Centre (JRC), Italy in collaboration with ISRIC – World Information Centre, Wageninegen, The Netherlands to establish a global digital inventory of the existing soil maps of the World. The EuDASM aims in developing a common platform to conserve the soil maps and the information underlying in them by adapting the modern technological tools and make it accessible to the global research communities (Selvaradjou et al., 2005). The objective of the EuDASM initiative is to collect, organize and distribute the soil information existing in the soil maps (Soil map information and their subsequent proper metadata) to the global research communities. Primarily, this programme directs focus on the developing countries that are under serious threat of losing their soil maps either due to lack of proper support to maintain the existing storage and retrieval system or due to the decent of former institutions that were the former legalized holders of such the soil maps over the years. Especially, in the countries of African continent, parts of Asia and Latin America, which were the ancient colonized nations, had their soil map holding scattered all around the world. The knowledge of these countries on the information of the existence of their soil maps elsewhere that they have lost or unknown is meager. The international organizations like ISRIC, FAO etc. which had been making enormous efforts over many decades to collect and archive the soil maps especially in the developing countries, remains to be the kingpin at present to deliver such unknown information to the host itself and to the global public research communities. Nevertheless, EuDASM also covers archiving of pedo-maps pertaining to all developed nations. This programme functioning with a nature of pedo-archaeology narrates: the origin of the soil maps pointing back to the pre-world war; evolution of the soil survey and classification activities; systematic and schematic temporal development of soil information; the extensive application of soil map information in numerous interdisciplinary fields focusing on various global environmental studies (land degradation, soil erosion, soil compaction, agriculture, forestry, soil pollution, hydrology, etc.).
