PAN-European Soil Erosion Risk Assessment (PESERA) - EU project which developed a physically based, spatial model of soil erosion for Europe. ISRIC was responsible for climatic and land use scenario analyses

Co-organization of an international workshop to review the state-of-the-art in the field of scaling of fluxes of greenhouse gases, ozone and aerosol precursors.

Harmonisation of Soil and Terrain Information for the Southern African Region (SOTER-SAF)- Compilation of a regional SOTER and assessment of land suitability, land degradation risk, and changes in land qualities resulting from land use change. Funded by FAO, ISRIC and UNEP

Mapping of Soil and Terrain Vulnerability in Central and Eastern Europe (SOVEUR), an FAO-funded project, involving 13 countries in Central and Eastern Europe, coordinated by ISRIC.

Technical assistance with the compilation of  a 1:500 000 scale SOTER database for Hungary [at the Research Institute for Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry; funded by UNEP.

This study provides and overview of extractable soil phosphorus (P-Bray, P-Olsen, P-Mehlich and P-water) and P-retention data held in a large profile database is presented. The primary aim is to assess whether representative P-values, by broad soil group (FAO system), can be determined for each of these analytical methods to support GIS-based assessments of food security.
 

Soil and Water Protection (SOWAP) - collaborative activity by industry, NGOs, academic institutions and farmers to address the concept of conservation tillage in the UK, Belgium and Hungary and the Czech republic

Soil and terrain database for Argentina  (primary  data; scale 1:1 M)

The Soil and Terrain database (SOTER) for Cuba, at scale 1:1 M, was  derived from the SOTER database for Latin America and the Caribbean (SOTERLAC, 1:5 M) in the framework of the Land Degradation Assessment in Drylands program (LADA, GLADA).

The database was compiled using the SOTER methodology; the initial SOTERLAC data have been improved and extended using the 90 m digital elevation model (DEM) derived from Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM), enabling a correction on SOTER unit delineation required for the present scale .

The Soil and Terrain database (SOTER) for Senegal and The Gambia, at scale 1:1 M, has been compiled in the framework of the Land Degradation Assessment in Drylands program (LADA, GLADA).

Assistance to the National Land Resources Assessment team in Cambodia, in particular land suitability for small -holder settlement  [2005 – 2006]

A study to identify several geographic, taxonomic and soil physico-chemical gaps, showing the persisting need for expanding the set of soil profile data available for this type of analyses

The harmonized spatial and attribute soil and terrain database, at 1:250,000 scale, for Hainan Island (P.R. of China) was compiled according to the SOTER methodology.  

A harmonized set of soil property estimates was derived from the 1:1 million scale Soil and Terrain Database for the Tunisia  and the ISRIC-WISE soil profile database, using standardized taxonomy-based pedotransfer (taxotransfer) procedures.

A harmonized set of soil property estimates been developed for Southern Africa using a 1:2M Soil and Terrain Database (SOTERSAF) and auxilliary soil profiles held in the WISE database.

A harmonized spatial and attribute soil and terrain database at 1:1M scale, compiled for Uruguay according to the SOTER methodology.

The SOTER database for Uruguay has been used, amongst others, to prepare a water erosion risk assessment in the framework of UNEP's Global Environmental Outlook (GEO) pilot project.

• A harmonized set of soil property estimates has been developed for Latin America and the Caribbean using a 1:5M Soil and Terrain Database (SOTERLAC, ver 2.0) and auxiliary soil profiles held in the WISE database.
