The Global Assessment of Human Induced Soil Degradation (GLASOD) was conducted by the International Soil Reference and Information Centre (ISRIC) at Wageningen, The Netherlands, as commissioned by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). ISRIC produced a 1:10 million scale wall chart in 1990 and subsequently produced a digital data set. In essence, the GLASOD data base contains information on soil degradation within map units as reported by numerous soil experts around the world through a questionnaire. It includes the type, degree, extent, cause and rate of soil degradation.
