More information

Unit
The affected area is expressed in km2.

Methodology
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 were below -1 and -0.5 standard deviation, respectively. The vegetation productivity is estimated using the Medium Resolution Vegetation Phenology and Productivity datasets of the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service. 

Data sources

Medium Resolution Vegetation Phenology and Productivity: Large integral (raster 500m), Oct. 2022 provided by European Environment Agency (EEA)
