This dataset is a ranking of estimated wind erosion risk for agricultural lands. Agricultural lands are defined here as those areas under cropping and grazing. The dataset was created in a multi-criteria analysis by combining (i) a modelled map of wind erosion severity for the period 2000 to 2010, (ii) an index map of the total soil nutrient loss, and (iii) maps of ‘room for improvement’ in ground cover management on agricultural lands within natural resource management (NRM) regions. It was developed to be used with a priority ranking for each NRM region to locate where in a NRM region the wind erosion investment area is and its priority. Definition of classes Low risk of wind erosion for agricultural land Moderate risk of wind erosion for agricultural land High risk of wind erosion for agricultural land Detail on how the dataset was created is in Leys et al. (2017).NOTE: Dataset and Leys et al. (2017) publication are available on request to geospatial@dcceew.gov.au
