This website presents the summary statistics of soil properties and carbon and nitrogen contents and stocks for the sampled ICOS sites. These data are also called level II data in the ICOS protocol.
1 Method to compute stock and statistics
This website for level II data includes first a section explaining the methodology for computing the stock and the statistics. We explain here how we compute the stocks using the data collected from the ICOS Sites. We also explain the design based approach which corresponds to the statistical estimators used to compute mean and total, and their associated uncertainty.
2 Report on Soil indicators for the ICOS sites
Here is the list of site reports providing the soil properties statistics and ICOS level-II data ready for downloading. Maps are also provided when the spatial information are available.
