Section S1

Methodology of Luxembourg Soil Monitoring

A total of 60 different sites were selected in a study funded by the Government of Luxembourg (Schanne and Mathieu, 2006). These 60 sites were selected on a grid with roughly 6 km width. Thereafter, a total of 190 locations with different land use categories were extracted for soil sampling according to a series of predefined criteria, following the 4th edition of the German Soil Survey Scheme. For the objectives of this study, only those sampling areas (which have an extent of 50x50m) that were located on the assessed land use categories (i.e. crops, meadows and pastures) were considered. Therefore, the final number of samples available was 80.
