Methodology:
The adopted methodology is inspired by the one developed in the framework of the MEDALUS project (Mediterranean Desertification And Land Use). Sensitivity to the desertification of the different spatial homogeneous units is defined by an index (ISD: index of sensitivity to the Desertification) obtained from the geometrical average of three indexes of the soil quality, climate and vegetation. This raster version was built from a calculation within three indexes: Soil (Soil Database V2 (JRC)), Vegetation (CLC 2000) and Climate (Aridity index).
