  1. The data provided has been prepared for use by internal research activities in the Joint Research Centre (JRC) Ispra. This work has been done in the context of the Working group of Soil Erosion of the EU Soil Observatory addressing the soil erosion in relation to land degradation, climate change and food security.
  2. The data are the result of JRC research activities and are primarily made available for further research. The JRC does not accept any liability whatsoever for any error, missing data or omission in the data, or for any loss or damage arising from its use. The JRC agrees to provide the data free of charge but is not bound to justify the content and values contained in the databases.
  3. The permission to use the data specified above is granted on condition that, under NO CIRCUMSTANCES are these data passed to third parties. They can be used for any purpose, including commercial gain.
  4. The user agrees to:
    • make proper reference to the source of the data when disseminating the results to which this agreement relates;
    • Participate in the verification of the data (e.g. by noting and reporting any errors or omissions discovered to the JRC).

 

This dataset contains the soil erosion estimations resulting of a study that mapped post-fire soil erosion in EU and UK following the 2017’s wildfires during 5 post-fire years. Five maps (GeoTIFF) and their corresponding dataframe (Rdata) are provided at 25m resolution, from year 1 (2017) to year 5 (2021).


Dataframe (Rdata): finalresultsfire.RData
Rdata is final dataframe including:
- X,Y coordinates (ETRS3035 at resolution 25m)
- erosion for each year
This allows the user to identify trends.
