-<HTML>+====== Agricultural land use and environmental indicators at 1x1 km grid resolution- the concept of Homogenous Soil Mapping Units ======
  
- <div id="content"><!-- Start Inhalt -->+----
  
 +The **HSMU** or **H**omogenous **S**patial **M**apping **U**nits are the georeferenced units for which the different data and indicators of the spatial data set are defined. They define areas inside administrative regions where approxiamte homogeniety according to location factors driving farm mamangement decisions may be assumed as the units are delineated from the following features,
  
 +  * CORINE land cover, which define regional land cover units
 +  * Administrative borders (NUTS 3), limiting the otherwise discontinuous HSMU in space
 +  * Soil Mapping Units from the Europe Soil Map
 +  * Slope class derived from the digital elevation model
  
-         <div class=rightwindow>+Each HSMU consists of one or several 1x1 km grid cell, not necessarily adjacent. Small HSMU comprising one one or a few 1x1 km cells are found where land cover or bio-physical conditions show a huge spatial variation, whereas very large HSMU are found in some cases where land cover, soil and slope are uniform over a bigger areas, e.g. in the northern part of Finland and Sweden, increasing the efficiency and accuracy in using indicator calculators and bio-physical models.
  
 +All features had been first converted to a uniform 1x1 km grid, and where applicable, area weighted average defined. In additional to the delination features, the following parameters had been added to the data set to be used in the statistical estimators and the bio-physical model DNDC:
  
 +  * Different soil parameter (clay and sand content, soil organic carbon content, ph, packing density
 +  * Long term climatic averages (monthly max and min temperature, solar radiation, rainfall)
 +  * Altitude
