- The data are the result of JRC research activities and are primarily made available for further research. The JRC does not accept any liability whatsoever for any error, missing data or omission in the data, or for any loss or damage arising from its use. The JRC agrees to provide the data free of charge but is not bound to justify the content and values contained in the databases.
- The permission to use the data specified above is granted on condition that, under NO CIRCUMSTANCES are these data passed to third parties. They can be used for any purpose, including commercial gain.
- The user agrees to:
a) Make proper reference to the source of the data when disseminating the results to which this agreement relates;
b) Participate in the verification of the data (e.g. by noting and reporting any errors or omissions discovered to the JRC).

- Predicted SOC concentration in topsoil (0–20 cm) in the EU and UK (based on LUCAS 2018)
- Predicted SOC across Europe in 2070.
- Predicted SOC change between 2018 and 2070. The values are calculated using SOC in 2070 minus that in 2018. Positive values mean SOC gain and negative values mean SOC loss

| Purpose | I need access to LUCAS data on soil organic carbon (SOC) in the Veneto region to support the selection of sampling areas for my doctoral project. The data will allow me to identify representative sites and compare the SOC values I will collect with those already measured as part of LUCAS campaigns. This comparison will allow me to analyze temporal variations in SOC and contextualize the research results with respect to a consolidated reference dataset at regional and European scales. |
