Correlation Matrix

This correlation matrix shows the strength and direction of the relationship between two soil degradation indicators. Dark red represents a strong positive correlation, which means that if one variable increases also the other increases and vice-versa. Dark blue represents a strong negative correlation, which means that if one variable increases the other decreases and vice-versa. Lighter colours represents a weak or non-existent correlation. Note that further analyses are needed to confirm possible causal relationships. The correlation matrix was calculated based on the raster values of the soil degradation indicators.
