  1. Harmonization of Soil Information in the AlpsThe ECALP Project: Results and Prospects Ispra, 6-7 February 2006 Lombardia Pilot Area Stefano Brenna, Alberto Rocca ERSAF – Agency for Agriculture and Forests - Lombardia

  2. ▪ Swiss-Italian Pilot Area The Swiss-Italian pilot area, 400 km2 wide, is located between the lakes of Lugano and Como, all around the southeast region of “Canton Ticino” called “Malcatone”. The extent is 20 km both longitudinal and latitudinal. The reference grid contains 1km x 1km cells; pilot area is formed by a set of 400 regular cells.

  3. ▪ Lombardia Pilot Area Reference Soil Groups (WRB, 1998) Soil Regions

  4. ▪ cross-border pixel

  5. ▪ main “open” issues • the “focus” should be concentrated on the “relevant” information; • sharing methods and rules to determine soil information, in particular in cross-border pixel; • the growth of the “network” among the Regional Soil Services is the most important goal to be followed up; • an Alpine database should be formed by both soil information and other thematic information (climate, geology, …); • accessibility of information for stakeholders (e.g. by means of web service); • the problem of coordinates translation should be properly studied.

  6. ▪ available support tools • method to identify the dominant STU occurring in the pixels by means of MS Access database query • web utility to get the possibility to visualize “grid maps” and data stored in the pixel • http://www.ersaf.lombardia.it/upload/ecalp/

  7. ▪ web toolhttp://www.ersaf.lombardia.it/upload/ecalp/ by clicking on a pixel of the map it is possible to visualize correspondent ECALP data click on each attribute to visualize detailed description
