I made long-term estimates of soil moisture at 1km for EU (quarterly 2014-2024) based on 3728 daily rasters from Copernicus Land Monitoring Service (Surface Soil Moisture 2014-present Europe, daily – version 1). I tried also producing monthly/bimonthly aggregates, but these have too many artifacts. It is still not ARD data because there are still gaps and issues, but if you test it and give me some feedback we can look how to improve this data together: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14833052

I often wonder if what I do helps the world, enough?
I remember @harari_yuval & Matan Gavish describing agriculture as a crucial field for social good.

This group bridges agricultural information gaps, with NLP!

Within the #AI4SoilHealth project we are building #opendata to help monitor soil health across pan-EU. The Landsat-based biophysical indices (bimonthly, annual, 17TB of data) covering 2000-2022 are now ready for use as COGs; systematically listed at: https://github.com/AI4SoilHealth/SoilHealthDataCube. The technical documentation is at: https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-4251113/v1. The trends maps for NDVI, NDWI, minNDVI and BSF reveal where EU soils are changing i.e. are potentially degraded. If you discover an issue or bug please report it!

Today is the World #SoilDay (https://www.un.org/en/observances/world-soil-day) a day to raise awareness of soils and why #soil conservation (from erosion, compaction, salinization, loss of biodiversity, loss of organic carbon) needs to start now.

Within the #AI4SoilHealth project we are building a Soil Health Data Cube and a mobile phone app for pan-EU. Some first data sets will be released in early 2024 as open data.

We are processing global 1997-2022+ Landsat images to produce complete, consistent, current & correct (cloud-free) mosaics per continent & globally. Our interest is primarily in monthly / bimonthly values, then we plan to use these to quantify vegetation, map pasture types, crops / land cover, tillage intensity, dynamic soil properties and similar.
