BetaBetaDataset
To provide information on land cover, land use, and soil erosion along Zambezi river basin.
This dataset provides Land Use, Land Use Change and Soil Loss (Area: Shire sub basin) at 10m resolution. 1) Land use maps: covers land use for the years 2005 and 2010 and the resulting changes 2) Erosion map of 2010: Relative potential based on the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) erosion formula that uses information on: annual rainfall in 2010, soil type, slope, slope length, land use in 2010 and farming practices. This dataset is one of the products produced under the 2008-2012 World Bank (WBG) European Space Agency (ESA) partnership, and is published in the partnership report: Earth Observation for Sustainable Development, June 2013
This dataset entails land use, total land cover, cause of soil erosion, soil erosion type, annual rainfall, soil type, slope, slope length, and farming practices.
