Soil properties in the present excel files concern field and laboratory analysis data of the Dano catchment. Data are related to carbon content, nitrogen content, CEC,sand, silt and clay content.

The carbon stock map was established using the Random Forest map based on about 1300 soil samples from the topsoil (A horizon).

This map shows the spatial soil erosion and deposition pattern as simulated by the hydrological and soil erosion model SHETRAN. A general discussion on the creation of this map and the uncertainty is given under: http://www.mdpi.com/2073-4441/9/2/101
