1 Soil Emissions and Removals Reporting in Portugal 2014 JRC LULUCCF Workshop 06/05/2014 Paulo Canaveira

2

3 (Our) Objective for Soil Reporting (for now) Characterise emissions and removals in the soil pool associated with land-use changes [changes in land remaining land are more compicated to estimate] General Approach Characterise average C Stock in each land-use Emission Factor = difference in C stocks / 20 years Land remaining land = 0

4 Soil Data Lots of soil data but... Mostly on Soil Organic Matter Almost no data on C Stocks Not treated / consolidated into usable databases 4

5 (almost usable) Data Sources for Soil Data ICP Forests Level 2 Grid 1995 (159 plots, forests and shrubland only) 2005 (103 plots, forests and shrubland only) BioSoil Based on ICP Forests Level 2 Grid 1999 (102 plots, agriculture and grasslands only) LUCAS soil survey 2009 (463 plots, almost all land uses) Total 828 plots

6 Challenges & Solutions Depth of soil sampling not constant 0-20cm exist for all samples (828) 20-40cm only exist in some (208) No data in LUCAS IPCC recommends 30cm (!) Solution Data 0-40 cm used real data for all plots where it exists gap filling for missing data based on ratio / 0-20 calculated on plots where both measurements exist (average 58%)

7 Challenges & Solutions Bulk density missing in many samples Important to convert soil organic matter (%) into tonc/ha No data in LUCAS samples No data in Biosoil samples Limited data in ICP Forests Level 2 samples Solution real data for all plots where it exists gap filling for missing data based on reference BD in JRC maps

8 Challenges & Solutions Different sampling dates 1995 (159 plots, forests and shrubland only) 2005 (103 plots, forests and shrubland only) 1999 (102 plots, agriculture and grasslands only) 2009 (463 plots, almost all land uses) Solution Use combination of all data Assumed to be OK for characterising average C Stock per land-use type

9 Challenges & Solutions Land-use data is missing for some plots No data in LUCAS samples Solution gap filling for missing data Use georeferenced location of the plot combined with land use map (2010)

10 Challenges & Solutions Coverage per land-use reporting category is not uniform Major land-uses all well represented Some categories have very limited data or are not represented at all Solution Aggregate some categories Pinus pinea + other coniferous Rice + irrigated crops Assume zero C Stock for some categories Wetlands; Settlements
