Description

This dataset contains the baseline map of 137Cs inventories in reference soil sites (Bq m-2, decay-corrected to 2020) estimated by Partial Least Square Regression (PLSR) with a spatial resolution of 2 km at the continental scale of South America, as well as the prediction uncertainties of the baseline map (coefficient of variation, %).
