Cropland, soil and DEM
Cropland, soil and DEM
In this task, I used an ESA Land Cover product, soil data from Harmonized World Soil, and elevation data from OpenTopography. My goal was to categorize the croplands in Hungary based on their susceptibility to erosion and the steepness of the slopes they are found. First, I selected the croplands from the land cover map, the erodible soils from the soil map, and the steep slopes from the elevation map. Then, I combined these selections using Raster Calculator and created three categories:
Croplands on steep slopes and erodible soil
Croplands on erodible soil (but not on steep slopes)
Croplands not on erodible soil
