  1. The data provided has been prepared for use by internal research activities in European Soil Data Centre (Sustainable Resources Directorate, JRC Ispra) in the context of developing the assessments of land degradation activities in collaboration with colleagues from University of Bucharest (RO) and University of Pavia (IT).
  2. The data were developed for research purposes of the JRC (European Commission). 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 data/maps are result of interpolation (and advanced geostatistics) and they should be used with care. It is not recommended to use this dataset for qualifying the status of a point (parcel).
  5. 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).

Data

The dataset includes two TIFF files: (a) the  number of land degradation processes and b) the types of land degradation processes in arable lands. This corresponds to the figure 2 of the publication Arable lands under the pressure of multiple land degradation processes. A global perspective. Letter accronyms refer to as: A: Aridity; E: Erosion; V: Vegetation decline; S: Salinization; O: Organic carbon decline. Combination . Two- or three-letter acronyms indicate the different combinations of two or three degradation processes that are simultaneously present in arable lands;
