The Global Soil Partnership (GSP) conducted a training event from January 20-24, 2018, in Tehran, Iran, aimed at enhancing capacity for digital soil organic carbon (SOC) mapping. Participants from multiple countries were trained to develop national SOC maps using spatial soil datasets and technical support from the FAO. The training is part of a larger initiative to improve global soil health assessments, with emphasis on collaboration with various international environmental organizations.
Scope and extent of the training
- 1. FAO- Global Soil Partnership Training on Digital Soil Organic Carbon Mapping 20-24 January 2018 Tehran/Iran Yusuf YIGINI, PhD - FAO, Land and Water Division (CBL) Guillermo Federico Olmedo, PhD - FAO, Land and Water Division (CBL)
- 2. Introduction, Scope and the Extent
- 3. Background During the 5th Session of the GSP’s Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils (ITPS) held in March 2016, collaboration between ITPS and the Science Policy Interface (SPI) of the UNCCD, the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was discussed. GSP/ITPS were requested to conduct a global SOC assessment based on country-level spatial soil data sets, combined to a new global SOC map.

- 6. GSOCmap - Trainings ▪ FAO/GSP has been organizing 1-3 week training sessions to support countries. ▪ The aim of the trainings are for each participating country to produce a national SOC map either at the end of the trainings, or subsequent to the training with technical support from the FAO. ▪ The participants are nominated through the Focal Points and FAO Offices and screened by GSP for their suitability to participate in the training based on their CVs. ▪ The trainings are tailored to the participants experience, expertise.

- 28. Datasets We ask countries to prepare/bring their national soil profile/topsoil data to be used during the training weeks. National Data: Point data from the soil profile and/or topsoil databases which should be ready for spatial analyses (Soil Property Mapping Cookbook Manual Chapter 2) Step by step instructions and detailed information can be found in the GSP’s “Soil Property Mapping Cookbook Manual - Chapter: 2-Preparation of local soil property data”
- 29. Datasets - Covariates National Spatial Covariates: Environmental covariates (Soil Map, Land Cover/Land Use Maps). ISRIC World Soil Information has established a data repository contains raster layers of various biophysical earth surface properties for each territory in the world. The data can be downloaded fro ISRIC’s ftp directories;
