Soil Erosion Risk Assessment in Europe data (MESALES model) - Dataset

These Soil Erosion Risk Assessment in Europe data (2000) have been elaborated by INRA for JRC using the MESAES model and can be seen as an intermediate step towards a "state-of-the-art erosion modelling at the European scale", prior to the initiation of the PESERA project.

Title: Soil Erosion Risk Assessment in Europe data (MESALES model)
Description: These data have been prepared by INRA (France) under contract to the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission. It is one of the thematic applications based on the Soil Geographical Data Base of Europe at scale 1:1 Million.
Resolution: 1: 1,000,000
Published: 2000

  1. These data have been prepared by INRA (France) under contract to the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission. It is one of the thematic applications based on the Soil Geographical Data Base of Europe at scale 1:1 Million. It should be considered as an intermediate step towards a "state-of-the-art erosion modelling at the European scale", subsequent to the work of Van der Knijff et al. (2000) and prior to the initiation of the PESERA project.
