The dataset provides mean monthly erosion rates in tonnes per hectare per month, calculated as the mean of equivalent months across the year range. It is published by the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water.

Use Cases

• Modeling soil loss and land degradation based on monthly hillslope cover erosion rates.
• Analyzing seasonal and inter-annual erosion patterns based on mean monthly data.
• Informing land management and conservation policy based on geospatial erosion models for New South Wales.

Strengths

• Provides a continuous time series of modelled data commencing in 2001.
• Data is geospatially referenced to New South Wales, Australia.
