The project on Mapping of Soil and Terrain Vulnerability in Central and Eastern Europe (SOVEUR) was implemented within the framework of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations and the Netherlands Government Cooperative Programme (Project: GCP/RER/007/NET). It was technically coordinated by the International Soil Reference and Information Centre (ISRIC) assisted by the Land and Water Development Division (AGL) of FAO.
The SOVEUR project has been carried out in close collaboration with specialists from soil survey institutes in Belarus, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, Romania, the Russian Federation, Slovak Republic and the Ukraine, who collated the various national soil data using uniform guidelines.
The dataset contains information on soil degradation status, soil derived properties, and soil vulnerability assessment. Technical reports are included with the data for each data type.
The data can be obtained on CD-ROM from the Library or downloaded via the link provided.
