Exact excerpt

To distinguish (semi)natural wetland areas under anthropogenic pressure and characterize wetland condition at the continental scale, we used agricultural and urban land-use classes as proxies for physical, chemical and biological stressors. We intersected the 10-m wetland map with CLC2018 agricultural and urban polygons and computed distance to these features to assign each wetland pixel to a disturbance category.
