Floods Reference Spatial Datasets reported under Floods Directive - version 3.0, Mar. 2025

The Floods Directive (FD) was adopted in 2007 (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex:32007L0060). The purpose of the FD is to establish a framework for the assessment and management of flood risks, aiming at the reduction of the adverse consequences for human health, the environment, cultural heritage and economic activity associated with floods in the European Union. ‘Flood’ means the temporary covering by water of land not normally covered by water. This shall include floods from rivers, mountain torrents, Mediterranean ephemeral water courses, and floods from the sea in coastal areas, and may exclude floods from sewerage systems. This reference spatial dataset, reported under the Floods Directive, includes the areas of potential significant flood risk (APSFR), as they were lastly reported by the Member States to the European Commission, and the Units of Management (UoM).

A Global Dataset of Bathymetric Features Identified with Prominence and Isobaths Analysis

This dataset comprises 125,514 submarine bathymetric features derived from the GEBCO_2025 Grid at 15 arc-second resolution (GEBCO Compilation Group, 2025) through computational analysis. Features were identified globally (excluding land areas) using topographic prominence calculation based on the algorithm of Kirmse and de Ferranti (2017), and characterized via isobath analysis. Each feature with prominence ≥300 m is represented as a polygon geometry with five nested contour levels (100%, 90%, 75%, 50%, and 25% from base to peak prominence level) and morphometric attributes including area, circularity, orientation, bounding box dimensions, and slope statistics. A companion point dataset contains all 143,888 detected peaks, including those rejected during quality control. The dataset provides an objective, reproducible global inventory of submarine features for research in marine geology, biodiversity, oeanography, and resource assessment. The attribute-rich structure enables users to define sub-classifications using standard SQL queries (e.g., filtering for seamounts using prominence ≥1000 m and circularity criteria). Data are distributed as OGC-compliant GeoPackage files. Processing was performed in 2025.

Concentrations of heavy metals in European agricultural soils, Oct. 2020

This data set contains current and critical metal concentrations and its exceedances in topsoils, as well as data related to the current and critical metal inputs to and outputs from soils (uptake, accumulation and leaching) and the resulting exceedances of critical metal inputs. This data set has been compiled by the European Topic Centre on Urban, Land and Soil Systems (ETC/ULS) in the context of a study on metal and nutrient dynamics where the fate and dynamics of the most abundant heavy metals and nutrients in agricultural soils were investigated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impacts of agricultural intensification in Europe, and to understand its environmental impact. Metal concentrations in soils were used from two consecutive Europe-wide geochemical surveys, sampled in 1998 (FOREGS survey) and 2009 (GEMAS survey). For land use, the 2010 Eurostat data were used. The metals included in this data set are cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn). The results on the fate of Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P) are included in a separate dataset. Cu and Zn are minor nutrients but at high inputs, they may cause adverse impacts on soil biodiversity, whereas Cd and Pb are toxic metals that may lead to soil degradation, by both affecting soil biodiversity and food quality. Metal budgets based on spatially explicit input and output data were calculated using the INTEGRATOR model; approximately 40,000 so-called NCUs as unique combinations of soil type, administrative region, slope class and altitude class were used. Available critical limits for food, water and soil organisms, from different existing regulations and studies, were converted to soil property-dependent critical metal concentrations (soil-based quality standards), which were then used to calculate critical metal inputs. The results allow for the first time to identifying spatial hot spots for critical environmental impact of soil pollution for the four most abundant heavy metals. It thus informs policy processes important for planning and guiding sustainable agriculture and soil management. The work is methodologically novel, as it applies endpoint risk to thresholds in soils, and thus guides future impact studies. Updates with more recent land use and soil data are now possible. The description of the included model results and the reference report is provided under "lineage". The data set is provided as SHP and also in a GDB, the latter including as well the N and P concentrations. An Excel file "Metadata heavy metals nutrients.xlsx" with the attribute metadata is provided with the data set.

Moor-Klimaschutz und Wertschöpfung verbinden durch Moor-Revitalisierung und Paludikultur, Teilvorhaben 9: Mitwirkung bei Untersuchungen zur Moorbiomasse-Verwertung (florafuel-Anlage)

Klimaschutz braucht nasse Moore! Moore sind bedeutende Kohlenstoffspeicher und im nassen Zustand bleibt dieser im Torf gespeichert und es kann sogar Torfneubildung stattfinden (Kohlenstoffsenke). Nasse Moore spielen auch eine wichtige Rolle bei der Anpassung an den Klimawandel. Außerdem sind sie für den Grund- und Hochwasserschutz und den Erhalt von moortypischen Tier- und Pflanzenarten ausgesprochen wichtig. Die Moorböden Deutschlands, welche ca. 5% der Landfläche bedecken, sind zu 95 % entwässert und zumeist in landwirtschaftlicher Nutzung. Dabei ist der Lebensunterhalt zahlreicher Flächeneigentümer*innen und Landnutzer*innen eng mit den entwässerten Moorflächen verknüpft. Grünlandnutzung und Ackerbau sind die derzeit am weitesten verbreiteten Nutzungsformen. Damit steht die entwässerungsbasierte Landnutzung konträr zum Klimaschutz. Die Moor-Revitalisierung ist die entscheidende Maßnahme, um den anhaltenden anthropogenen Ausstoß von Treibhausgasen aus Mooren zu unterbinden und gleichzeitig eine natürliche Kohlenstoffsequestrierung mit langfristiger Speicherung für die Zukunft zu ermöglichen. Das Konzept der Paludikultur eröffnet Perspektiven für eine angepasste Nutzung und neue Wertschöpfungsmöglichkeiten. MOOReturn ist die langfristige Verknüpfung von Moorbodenschutz mit der Wertschöpfung aus der Verwertung von Moor Biomasse durch Paludikultur mit folgender Zielstellung: 1. Die Umsetzung möglichst großflächiger Revitalisierung entwässerter Moorflächen und die Optimierung der Wasserstände bereits revitalisierter Moore in der Region um Malchin. 2. Demonstration eines wirtschaftlichen, rückstandsfreien Aufbereitungsverfahrens zur Verwertung von Moorbiomasse im Industriemaßstab. 3. Der ganzheitliche Nachweis der ökonomischen Tragfähigkeit und positiven Klimawirkung der Nutzung nasser Moore unter Beachtung gesellschaftlicher Aspekte. 4. Etablierung und Stärkung von Netzwerken mittels Wissenstransfer auch auf Basis interaktiver und digitaler Werkzeuge
