8. Soil database

9. Heterogeneous information
Soil map
(southern part)
Few scattered observations
(northern part)

10. Heterogeneous information
Existing data
Specific soil survey in pilot area
Discussion and decisions on soil-landscape relationship
Use of expert estimation

Joint field work
Several meetings and discussions
Exchange of soil and ancillary datasets
Border-matching
Shared methodology

14. Conclusions Actual cross-border pilot area
Continuous checking (projection and database content)
Growing relationship
Shared methodology (still to improve?)
Checking relevant information at local level
