More information

The size of the impacted area is calculated annually from the sum of those 500mx500m grid cells, where both the soil moisture and the vegetation productivity anomaly was below zero, i.e. below  -1 and -0.5 standard deviation, respectively. The calculated area is computed in km2 and subsequenty expressed in proportion of the country's area as a % value. The vegetation productivity is estimated using the Medium Resolution Vegetation Phenology and Productivity datasets of the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service.
