Introduction, Scope and the Extent

Background
GSP - Eurasian Soil Partnership Training Workshop on Soil Mapping and Modeling- İzmir, Türkiye 21-25/08/2017
During the 5th Session of the GSP’s
Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils
(ITPS) held in March 2016, collaboration between
ITPS and the Science Policy Interface (SPI) of the
UNCCD, the Intergovernmental Platform on
Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES),
and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC) was discussed.
GSP/ITPS were requested to conduct a global
SOC assessment based on country-level
spatial soil data sets, combined to a new
global SOC map.

Training on SOC Mapping

GSOCmap - Trainings
▪ FAO/GSP has been organizing 1-3 week training sessions to
support countries.
▪ The aim of the trainings are for each participating country to
produce a national SOC map either at the end of the trainings,
or subsequent to the training with technical support from the
FAO.
▪ The participants are nominated through the Focal Points and
FAO Offices and screened by GSP for their suitability to
participate in the training based on their CVs.
▪ The trainings are tailored to the participants experience,
expertise.

Datasets
We asked countries to prepare/bring their national soil
profile/topsoil data to be used during the training week.
National Data: Point data from the soil profile and/or
topsoil databases which should be ready for spatial
analyses (Soil Property Mapping Cookbook Manual
Chapter 2)
Step by step instructions and detailed information can
be found in the GSP’s “Soil Property Mapping
Cookbook Manual - Chapter: 2-Preparation of local
soil property data”

Datasets - Covariates
National Spatial Covariates: Environmental covariates
(Soil Map, Land Cover/Land Use Maps).
ISRIC World Soil Information has established a data
repository contains raster layers of various biophysical
earth surface properties for each territory in the world. The
data can be downloaded fro ISRIC’s ftp directories;

ftp://gsp.isric2.org/ (user: gsp, pwd: gspisric)
or
ftp://85.214.253.67/ (user: gsp, pwd: gspisric)
Instructions and detailed information can be found in the
GSP’s “Soil Property Mapping Cookbook Manual -
Chapter: 3.6 GSOC Map - Data Repository (ISRIC, 2017)”

You can go now to the following ftp sites and
download the covariates for your countries,
ftp://gsp.isric2.org/ (user: gsp, pwd: gspisric)
