| Description | Knowledge about the spatial and temporal distribution of exposed soils is necessary for e.g., soil degradation mitigation. Earth Observation (EO) is a valuable data source for detecting exposed soils on a large scale. Recently, a multitemporal compositing technique has been used for the generation of exposed soil that overcomes the limitation of temporarily coverage of the soils with vegetation. This technique has been further developed into a toolbox, the Soil Composite Mapping Processor (SCMaP). SCMap is used to build exposed soil masks containing all pixels in a given time period showing at least once exposed soil.
