The Authors regret overlooking errors in: 1. Affiliation 1 should be replaced “JRC European Commission, Ispra, Italy”. The correct affiliation “European Commission, Joint Research Centre (JRC), Ispra, Italy”2. Affiliation 4, Budpest, has a typo, Budapest is correct.3. NH4+ was incorrectly reported in the Abstract, NH4+ is correct.4. A space is required between “empirically-derivedpedotransfer function”5. Abstract “numerosity and depth and availability “ replace with “numerosity, depth and availability”6. In the last paragraph of the Introduction, a space is required between “empirically-derivedPTF”7. In the following paragraph after eq. 4, “%SP” need to be changed to “SP%”.8. In last sentence of section 3.2, Fig. 5 of the supplementary materials is referenced instead of Fig. 4 of the supplementary materials.9. In first paragraph of section 3.4, Fig. 5 is referenced instead of Fig. 6. The part of the sentence in quotes 'For the classification task' is a typo and should be removed.10. In first paragraph of section 3.5, Fig. 2 and supplementary Fig. 5 are referenced instead of Fig. 1 and supplementary Fig. 4.11. In last sentence of paragraph 3.5, Fig. 4 needs to be referenced here instead of Fig. 6 and 7.12. Page 3, we replaced “around 300.000 land use observations”, with " around 300,000 land use observations".13. Eq (1) EC1:514. Page 6: Parent material (Panagos et al., 2022n)15. Title of the section 3.2 “ Descriptive ECe 2018 per NUTS 0” should be replaced with “Descriptive ECe 2018 per country”16. Title of the section “Model prediction 2018, EU and NUTS 2-Distribution of Ece” should be replaced with “Model prediction and EU-regional Distribution of ECe”17. In Figure 5, the observed data are represented in the left-hand side column, whereas the predicted data are in the right column.18. Page 13: the following sentence “However the soil monitoring methods (including stratified sampling) proposed in the Soil Monitoring Law (SML) proposal (an order of magnitude more samples) with the incorporation of the soil monitoring Schemes from Member States will increase the monitoring points and therefore be able to capture the spatial variability” should be replaced with “However, the Soil Monitoring Law (SML) proposal includes advanced soil monitoring methods (e.g. stratified sampling) which will also increase the number of sampled locations by an order of magnitude by incorporating national soil monitoring schemes (Panagos et al., 2024).19. In page 13: the following sentence “Thanks to the new soil monitoring framework will expect in the near future a substantial increase in data availability… ” should be replaced with “Thanks to the proposal for the Soil Monitoring and Resilience Law, it is expected a substantial increase in data availability in the near future……”20. Page 14: the following sentence: “The availability of soil data can be sparse and inconsistent across a continental area, leading to an uneven sampling density, this study addressed the need for additional samples in some areas where salinity is considered a soil threat.” should be replaced with “The availability of soil data can be sparse and inconsistent across a continental area, leading to an uneven sampling density. This study addressed the need for additional samples in some areas where salinity is considered a soil threat.”21. References section of the published article where the reference by Kargas et al.
