Seabed substrate 1:15 000 – Europe

The EMODnet (European Marine Observation and Data network) Geology project collects and harmonizes marine geological data from the European sea areas to support decision making and sustainable marine spatial planning. The partnership includes 39 marine organizations from 30 countries. The partners, mainly from the marine departments of the geological surveys of Europe (through the Association of European Geological Surveys-EuroGeoSurveys), have assembled marine geological information at various scales from all European sea areas (e.g. the White Sea, Baltic Sea, Barents Sea, the Iberian Coast, and the Mediterranean Sea within EU waters). This dataset includes EMODnet seabed substrate maps at a scale of 1:15 000 from the European marine areas. Traditionally, European countries have conducted their marine geological surveys according to their own national standards and classified substrates on the grounds of their national classification schemes. These national classifications are harmonised into a shared EMODnet schema using Folk's sediment triangle with a hierarchy of 16, 7 and 5 substrate classes. The data describes the seabed substrate from the uppermost 30 cm of the sediment column. Further information about the EMODnet Geology project is available on the portal (http://www.emodnet-geology.eu/).

Finnish Soildatabase 1:250 000, 1.1

Lack of spatial soil data in digital form has been a primary obstacle in establishing European policies on land use and environmental protection. Abundant data on soil characteristics exist in Finland but have been scattered among various sources, making it difficult for authorities to make country-wide presentations and predictions.The objective of the project was to create georeferenced soil map and database according to the instructions of the European Soil Bureau using data from existing databases and collecting some new data. The basis of the work was a geological map of quaternary deposits, which describes the soil at a depth of 1 metrem (parent material) according to the Finnish classification based on the concentration of organic matter and the texture of mineral material. Primary research topics included generalization methodology of soil polygons with GIS technology, calculation of soil characteristics needed in the database and computerizing the existing non-digital soil information. It was proved that aerial geophysics can be used for separation of shallow peats from deep peat soils and muddy soils and other wet areas can be identified. Soil names according to the FAO/Unesco system and the World Reference Base for Soil Resources (WRB-2014) were derived from the soil names of the Finnish soil classification system and geophysical data. Soilscape (Soil Mapping Units) of Finland with WRB-2014 soil classification, intented to be used in European scale e.g to delineate risk areas mentioned in soil framework directive proposal.

Maatalousmaa 2020

Maatalousmaa vuonna 2020 aineisto kuvaa mahdollisimman kattavasti maankäytöltään maatalouteen kuuluvia alueita vuonna 2020, sisältäen sekä maataloustukia saavat alueet, että tukien ulkopuoliset alueet. Aineisto on koostettu käyttäen Ruokaviraston tuottamia perus- ja kasvulohkoaineistoja sekä Maanmittauslaitoksen tuottamaa maastotietokantaa. Peruslohkoaineisto on komission asetuksen 796/2004 ja neuvoston asetuksen (EY) N:o 1782/2003 20 artiklassa tarkoitettu viljelylohkojen tunnistusjärjestelmä. Järjestelmää käytetään EU:n pinta-alaperusteisen maataloustuen hallinnoinnissa. Aineisto käsittää vuoden 2020 peruslohkojen tilanteen 31.12.2020. Kasvulohkolla tarkoitetaan yhteen peruslohkoon kuuluvaa yhtenäistä aluetta, jossa kasvatat yhtä kasvilajia, useamman kasvilajin seosta tai jota kesannoidaan tai joka on erityiskäytössä. Yhdellä peruslohkolla voi olla yksi tai useampia kasvulohkoja. Kasvulohko voi kuulua vain yhteen peruslohkoon. Kasvulohkojen rajat ja samalla niiden pinta-alat voivat vaihdella peruslohkon sisällä vuosittain. Peltolohkorekisteristä on aineistoon otettu mukaan ne lohkot joihin yhdistyy kasvulohkoista tieto viljellystä kasvista. Aineistosta on tiputettu pois ei-maatalousaluetta olevat lohkot, esimerkiksi metsäiset alueet. Maanmittauslaitoksen Maastotietokanta on koko Suomen kattava maastoa kuvaava aineisto ja se koostuu erilaisista kohderyhmistä. Maastotietokannan Maatalousmaa -aineisto sisältää Maastotietokannan pellot, ja puutarhat. Niityt ovat erillinen kohdeluokka. Mammuttiprojektia varten MTK kohdeluokat Maatalousmaa (pellot ja puutarhat) ja Niitty yhdistettiin yhdeksi aineistoksi. Kohdeluokat on poimittu vuoden 2020 Maastotietokannasta, joka on saatavissa Paituli-palvelusta (poiminta tehty 19.04.2021). Kohdeluokat ja niiden kuvaukset löytyvät: https://www.maanmittauslaitos.fi/sites/maanmittauslaitos.fi/files/attachments/2018/03/Maastotietokohteet_0.pdf Peruslohkoaineistosta ja maastotietokannasta poimitut kohteet on yhdistetty siten, että maatalousmaa muodostetaan ensisijaisesti käyttämällä peruslohkoaineistosta poimittuja peruslohkoja. Tämän joukon ulkopuolelle jäävä maatalousmaa tulee maastotietokannasta. Aineistojen yhdistäminen on kuvattu tarkemmin tuotantokuvauksessa. https://geoportal.ymparisto.fi/meta/julkinen/dokumentit/maatalousmaa2020.pdf https://geoportal.ymparisto.fi/meta/julkinen/dokumentit/Metatietokuvaus_peltolohkorekisteri.pdf Aineisto kuuluu SYKEn avoimiin aineistoihin (CC BY 4.0).

Integrated biodiversity status assessment - seals 2018

This dataset represents the Integrated biodiversity status assessment for seals (grey seal, harbour seal and ringed seal). Status is shown in five categories based on the integrated assessment scores obtained in the tool. Biological quality ratios (BQR) above 0.6 correspond to good status. The status of the seals was assessed using four core indicators: population trends and abundance of seals, distribution of Baltic seals, nutritional status of seals, and reproductive status of seals. In the latter two only grey seals are considered for the 2018 State of the Baltic Sea report. The assessment is based on the one-out-all-out approach, i.e. the species reflecting the worst status in each assessment unit. This dataset displays the result of the integrated biodiversity status in HELCOM Assessment unit Scale 2 (Division of the Baltic Sea into 17 sub-basins). Attribute information: "HELCOM_ID" = ID of the HELCOM scale 2 assessment unit "level_2" = Name of the HELCOM scale 2 assessment unit "EcosystemC" = Ecosystem component analyzed "BQR" = Biological Quality Ratio "Conf" = Confidence of the assessment "Total_indi" = Number of indicators used "% of area assessed" = Share of the total assessed area "D1CX" = MSFD descriptor 1 criteria X "conf_D1CX" = Confidence for MSFD descriptor criteria X "Confidence" = Conifdence of the assessment ("high"/ "moderate"/ "low") "STATUS" = Status of the assessment (0-0.2 = not good (lowest score), 0.2-0.4 = not good (lower score), 0.4-0.6 = not good (low score), 0.6-0.8 = good (high score, 0.8-1.0 = good (highest score))

EMODnet Sedimentation rates – Europe

Sedimentation rates are part of EMODnet (European Marine Observation and Data network) Geology, Work Package 3 (WP3) Seabed substrate. The objective of WP3 is to compile all available seabed substrate information on a scale of 1:100 000 or finer from all European marine areas, and to update sedimentation rate data collected in the previous phases. WP3 has compiled and harmonized available information on the rate of sedimentation on the seafloor. The information on sedimentation rates for recent sediments is presented as point-source information. Estimations of modern sedimentation rates (centimetres/year) can be based e.g. on established historical records of anthropogenic radionuclides (e.g. 137Cs and 241Am), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), lead (Pb) and stable lead isotope (206/207Pb ratios). Sedimentation rate estimations can be based also on varve/laminae counting, radionuclide 210Pb and 14C decay dating methods. In addition stratigraphic marker horizons, like in the Baltic Sea, horizons formed by documented Major Baltic Inflow (MBIs) events (Moros et al. 2017), can be used in the estimations. Project partners have delivered information on sedimentation rates available in their national waters including their EEZ. The focus is on the present-day sedimentation rates. That means sediment accumulation to the seabed over the past decades, since AD 1900 or so.
