cropdata – yield anomaly catalogue for the ten most cultivated crops in Germany from 1989 to 2020 - version 1.0

Abstract

This data set contains a .csv file yield_anomaly_catalogue_v001.csv that lists all areas affected by large or extreme yield anomalies. Large and extreme anomalies are defined according to the Standardized Yield Anomaly Index (SYAI) where “large” is defined as all values between ± 1 standard deviation (std) and ± 2 std and “extreme” values are defined as all values above or below ± 2 stds from the mean. The data set is organized by the following headers: year = harvest year of occurrence; crop = defining the crop type; attribute = where -2 and -1 are extreme and large negative yield anomalies respectively and 1 and 2 are large and extreme positive yield anomalies respectively; size = affected area in km²; relative_size = affected area in relative terms compared to the total area of Germany; average = average/mean value of all pixels in this affected area.
