Historical reconstruction of soil erosion in Europe

Description

This dataset includes the past reconstruction of soil erosion rates in Europe (incuding UK, Switzerland and Western balkans). The data provided have are aggregated per decade starting from 1860. The soil erosion change is driven by changes in land use and rainfall erosivity. The simulations have been done using the CE-DYNAM model. We also make available the annual histrorical soil loss by water erosion rates (per year for the period 1860 - 2018). Advanced users may also download the monthly files (12 bands per file). The annual and monthly soil erosion reconstruction data (1860-2018) can be useful inputs for Earth System Models.
