AUSTRIAN LUCAS RESULTS - DISCUSSED
Results of the survey are still not significant -> do not publish inaccurate data/statistics!
If LANDUSE is not significant – what is the quality of the soil subsample?
Redesign instead of filling some gaps and bluffing accuracy
Focus the real needs
In case of existing georeferenced administrative Data – no more physical observation of the point
Using georef. IACS, business register, forest inventory or cadastral data or other inventories (e.g. Landscape)
No publication of the exact point coordinates
Beside the protection of the identity of the landowner an his ownership rights–
there is a real chance of manipulation or disturbing the point of observation.
Soil sample should be guided by representative group of soil experts – (national/forest/arable)
Many other soil types are underestimated by the current sample– not only peat soil!
There is a need of a specific soil focused sample – not grid oriented
MAIN METHODOLOGY FINDINGS:
Artificial area
massive overestimation of the artificial area development (LUCAS +10% p.J.)
built up area in national cadaster max. +0,3% per year ( +1,6 % for whole artificial area)
Cropland
Lucas shows opposite trends: instead of decrease of cropland -107 km2 in 3 years, LUCAS shows increase of +319 km2.
Forest
overestimation forest increase with the multiplier factor 2,5
LUCAS +407 km2 (=+135 km2/year), forest inventory : +165 km2 (=+55 km2/year)

WHY ARE CORRECT FIGURES IMPORTANT?
1. LULUCF modelling methodology: Panagos et al. (2013) compared data from
Jones et al. (2005) to measured LUCAS 2009 data and showed an
underestimation of SOC in Southern Europe while in Central and Eastern
Europe a net overestimation was visible. Therefore, rescaling stocks seems
reasonable given the uncertainties surrounding initial SOC stocks
2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF THE IMPACT ASSESSMENT (The role of
land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) in the EU's climate;
12.3.2012): Monitoring and reporting needs to be improved to underpin the
accounting framework and the indicators tracking progress in agriculture and
forestry. The Commission proposes to achieve this through separate
framework, i.e. by revising the Monitoring Mechanism Decision. For reasons
of comparability and cost-efficiency, better use should be made of EU-wide
monitoring instruments such as LUCAS and CORINE.
3. LUCAS point data are used for several maps – from illustrating ecosystem
services to EUROSTAT environmental Publications
4. Scientific Recommendations for the new Rural Development Programme
2014-20 address the identified “hot spots” on regional soil level.
Characterized by high top soil organic carbon contents. The topsoil organic
carbon hotspots were identified by a map with data of European Soil
Database 2003 provided by Joint Research Centre (EEA, 2012).
5. Soil erodibility on LUCAS 2009 basis data in The State of soil in Europe -
JRC reference report 2012
