Monthly Hillslope Bare Soil Erosion in New South Wales for 2010

Individual monthly hillslope bare soil erosion rates, measured in tonnes per hectare per month, over New South Wales for the year 2010. The dataset is provided by the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water and was last updated in May 2026. Data is available in PDF and GEOTIFF file formats.

Use Cases

• Modeling annual soil loss budgets based on monthly erosion rates.
• Analyzing seasonal patterns of hillslope erosion based on the monthly temporal resolution.
• Creating spatial maps of soil erosion risk across New South Wales based on the geospatial data.
• Informing land conservation and agricultural planning based on bare soil erosion estimates.

Strengths

• Data has a specific temporal focus on the year 2010.
• Spatial coverage is explicitly defined as the state of New South Wales.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and total dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au, focusing solely on New South Wales.
