Overview

This repository contains raster datasets describing current and projected carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) stocks and fluxes, as well as crop yields, for European agricultural soils under different organic agriculture (OA) scenarios. The datasets were generated using the calibrated DayCent ecosystem model at European scale, combined with spatially explicit soil properties, climate data, land use information, and representative management practices. Detailed model descriptions, scenario assumptions, and calculation methods are provided in the accompanying manuscript and supplementary material. Reference to figures in the text is according to the published figures of the relevant publication in Global Change Biology.


For further information on model parameters, scenario assumptions, raster layers, or data interpretation beyond what is described in the manuscript and referenced literature, please contact the corresponding author.

Raster File Description


Current & Business-As-Usual (BAU)
The raster data in the folder /Current_BAU represent the current (2019-2022) and projected (2031-2034) agricultural management without implementation of additional organic agriculture measures. The nutrient stocks and flows and crop yield are split into two raster files per scenario (SOC / FLX), as described in Table 1 & 2. Other raster datasets describe the soil degradation criteria to select the target areas to convert as described in Fig. 3, or the limiting nutrient as in Fig. S3. 
Files:
•    SOC_BAU.tif
•    FLX_BAU.tif
•    Fig3a_Pexcess_current.tif
•    Fig3b_Nsurplus_current.tif
•    Fig3c_erosion_current.tiff
•    Fig3d_deg_overlap.tif
•    FigS3_NutrientLimit.tif

100% OA 
This scenario assumes conversion of all agricultural land to organic agriculture. Provided raster files show a) two yield-gap assumptions (low = 20% yield reduction under organic agriculture; high = 10 % yield reduction under organic agriculture) and b) an additional cover crop scenario (CC). Again, the parameters are split into two raster files per scenario (SOC / FLX), as described in Table 1 & 2. 
Files
•    SOC_ORG_low.tif
•    SOC_ORG_low_CC.tif
•    SOC_ORG_high.tif
•    SOC_ORG_high_CC.tif
•    FLX_ORG_low.tif
•    FLX_ORG_low_CC.tif
•    FLX_ORG_high.tif
•    FLX_ORG_high_CC.tif

25% OA 
This scenario assumes conversion of 25% agricultural land to organic agriculture. Two different spatial implementation strategies are provided (EU-wide (EU) vs. member-state-wide (memberstate)). Again, the two yield gap assumptions (low = 20% yield reduction under organic agriculture; high = 10 % yield reduction under organic agriculture) and the additional cover crop scenario (CC) is provided. Each layer is described in Table 3.
Files
•    OA_EU_low.tif

•    OA_memberstate_low.tif
•    OA_memberstate_low_CC.tif
•    OA_memberstate_high.tif
•    OA_memberstate_high_CC.tif

Stencils
Additional raster files provide the selected implementation areas for both yield gap assumptions (low = 20% yield reduction under organic agriculture; high = 10 % yield reduction under organic agriculture):
Files
•    EU_high.tif
•    EU_low.tif
