The dataset included 1 compressed folder: “2006_Habitat_Saladas_Alcañiz-Calanda.zip”. The folder comprises one GIS file generated in ArcGIS v.10.8 (“2006_Habitats_Saladas_Alcañiz-Calanda”). The shape is based on the information generated in the 2006 fieldwork and on the CORINE legend of the List of Habitats of Aragon (LHA) (Benito Alonso, 2011). Also, we included the natural habitat types of community interest (HIC) listed in Annex I of the Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC). The explanation of the attribute table is included in the document ‘Explanation.docx’ with the translation of the habitats described in Spanish and English of LHA and HIC. This shape presents two legend layers according to the presence of LHA (“2006_Habitats_Saladas_Alcañiz-Calanda_LHA.lyr”) and HIC (“2006_Habitats_Saladas_Alcañiz-Calanda_HIC.lyr”) in the majority habitat of each polygon. The abovementioned geographic layers are map projected in the European Datum ETRS89/UTM zone 30N., We presented the information of mapping habitat generated in the 2006 fieldwork. The studied wetland is the Saladas of Alcañiz-Calanda, catalogued in the Natura 2000 European Network, under the European Directives Birds (2009/147/EC) and Habitats (92/43/EEC)., The data presented here are a result of the research projects ISABEL, funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and by “ERDF A way of making Europe” and Instituto de Estudios Turolenses (IET) through the call for I+D+I Projects - EIT 2025., Peer reviewed

The dataset includes an Excel spreadsheet with the soil data and a zip folder with the geomorphological map. The Excel file “SoilProfile_Chiprana.xlsx” is organized in four sheets: the Sheet #1 “Notes” has comments on laboratory methodologies; the Sheet #2 “Site description” includes the introductory field description of the profile site together with date and location; the Sheet #3, “Soil profile description” contains the detailed horizon descriptions; the Sheet #4 “Soil analysis” comprises the laboratory results of the physical and chemical analysis of 28 soil samples. The methodology for describing the sites and soils are based on Schoeneberger et al. (2012) and SINEDARES (C.B.D.S.A., 1983), and Soil Taxonomy (Soil Survey Staff, 2022). The compressed folder “SoilPhotographs.zip” includes photos of the soil profiles.
The compressed folder “Geomorphology_Chiprana.zip” includes three vector datasets, i.e. the shape of polygons “2024_carto_chi_polygon”, the shape of polylines “2024_carto_chi_line”, and the shape of points “Profile&OSLdating_chi_point” with the location of the soil profile and dating samples. The three geographic layers are projected in European Datum ETRS89/UTM zone 30N, and include the five components necessary for visualization in a Geographic Information System. The source of the geomorphological map is the stereoscopic photointerpretation of the USAF aerial photographs (1956-1957) at 1:33000 scale., The “Salada de Chiprana” (41°15'N, 00°12'E) is a Nature Reserve in the semiarid central Ebro Basin (Aragón region) and the only permanent hypersaline lake in Western Europe. The wetland is included in the network of RAMSAR Sites of International Importance from 1994. The data presented here belong to the research projects AGROWET, funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and by the “European Union NextGeneration EU/PRTR”, and ISABEL, funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and by “ERDF A way of making Europe”. In these projects we studied the geomorphology and the soils of selected landforms of “Salada de Chiprana” Nature Reserve., Peer reviewed
