The European Soil Data Centre (ESDAC), hosted by the EU’s Joint Research Centre (JRC), is the central repository for soil-related data in the region. Established in 2006, it provides harmonized soil information to support EU policies, scientific research, and public awareness. ESDAC hosts 88 datasets, 6,000 maps, six atlases, and over 500 scientific publications, covering soil properties, threats (e.g., erosion, compaction, salinization), functions, and project-derived data. Over the past 15 years, it has facilitated 50,000 dataset licenses and serves a diverse user base from academia, research, and public and private sectors. As part of the European Union Soil Observatory (EUSO), ESDAC enhances data accessibility through open and registered access, playing a key role in shaping EU soil policies and promoting sustainable land management practices.
