The soil properties of the Dano Catchment, Burkina Faso, 2016

Soil properties in the present excel files concern field and laboratory analysis data of the Dano catchment. Data are related to bulk density, stone content, pH, carbon content, nitrogen content,carbon stock, nitrogen stock, CEC, texture (sand, silt and clay content).

Statement

Representative soil units were chosen for sampling, based on existing soil and land use maps as well as on a digital elevation model (DEM) of the watershed.

70 soil profiles were described along 16 transects from August to October 2012 with excavation depth up to 1 m where possible. Samples were collected per soil horizon.

Intensive auger grid sampling was carried out from August to October 2012 and from August to October 2013 over the entire study area, resulting in more than 1000 samples for both soil and carbon mapping purposes.

Soil horizon description and soil classification were based on the World Reference Base for soil resources (WRB)
