Potential erosion of agricultural lands, 2021

Potential erosion of agricultural lands, 2021

Beskrivning

The potential erosion risk of Finnish agricultural lands data describes the average erosion risk of surface soil to water erosion (kg/ha/y) in the case of bare fallow conditions. The data is based on RUSLE (Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation) and it covers almost all agricultural lands in Finland in 10×10 m resolution. The calculations include the effects of rainfall (R), soil type (K), slope length (L), slope steepness (S), and bare fallow (C=0.5) on erosion, but exclude the effects of other human activities (P). The effect of rainfall is based on measured precipitation data from 2007-2013. The total size of the data is approx. 1 GB and it includes one file. The data is derived from [erosion susceptibility of land areas](https://urn.fi/urn:nbn:fi:att:f658fb82-ef83-48c3-a48b-181fdb87cda0) (2×2 m) Coordinate system: ETRS89 / ETRS-TM35FIN (EPSG:3067) More detailed description of the data: Räsänen, T.A., Tähtikarhu, M., Uusi-Kämppä, J., Piirainen, S., Turola, E., 2023.
