  1. The data provided has been prepared for use by internal research activities in the Joint Research Centre (JRC) Ispra in collaboration with Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), Humboldt University of Berlin, University of Minnesota, Roma Tre University and University of Basel. This work is contributing to the activities of the EU Soil Observatory working group on soil erosion.
  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).

 

Global soil Erosion data. Download the data (25 GB)

The data includes the spatially-explicit soil loss estimates for all scenarios (shown in Fig. 7 of the paper) and the R code used to process the input data.

RUSLE_2015_Ref_10s: Baseline 2015 as from Global Soil Erosion Modelling (GloSEM)

RUSLE_2050_BAU_10s: 2050 BAU scenario represents the SSP2 "middle-of-the-road" reference scenario with currently implemented national land conservation policies and moderate income and population growth.

RUSLE_2050_PROTECT_10s: 2050 PROTECT scenario includes area-based conservation action in line with the  Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF).

RUSLE_2050_COACTION_10s: 2050 COACTION scenario included reforestation action in line with the Paris Agreement and area-based conservation in line with the GBF.

RUSLE_2050_MULTI_10s: 2050 MULTI scenario with conservation of at least 20% of semi-natural habitat in addition to the previous interventions.

pollSuff_2015_Ref_10s: Baseline 2015

pollSuff_2050_BAU_10s: 2050 BAU scenario represents the SSP2 "middle-of-the-road" reference scenario with currently implemented national land conservation policies and moderate income and population growth (SSP2).

pollSuff_2050_PROTECT_10s: 2050 PROTECT scenario includes area-based conservation action in line with the scenario taking into account the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF).pollSuff_2050_COACTION_10s: 2050 COACTION scenario taking into account theincluded reforestation action in line with the Paris Agreement and area-based conservation in line with the GBF.pollSuff_2050_MULTI_10s: 2050 MULTI scenario with conservation of at least 20% of semi-natural habitat in addition to the previous interventions.

pollSuff_2050_MULTI_NoPast_SA_10s: 2050 MULTI sensitivity analysis, excluding pastures from the definition of pollinator habitats.

 

MAgPIE output. Download the data (3 GB).

The data includes all modelled outputs (food demand, agricultural production, emissions etc.) from 1995 to 2100 for the BAU, PROTECT, COACTION and MULTI scenarios at the spatial cluster level (fulldata.gdx) and at the regional level (report.mif).The NetCDFs contain the disaggregated land-use projections until 2100, while the fulldata.gdx contains the actual model outputs at MAgPIE's native resolution (accessible via the GAMS software or e.g. via R).
