Drought intensities and remote sensing derived biomass productivity over rainfed locations

This dataset includes remote sensing derived biomass productivity as a proxy indicator for agricultural response to drought, using the FAO portal to monitor Water Productivity through open-access of remotely sensed derived data (WaPOR ver. 2). The data includes Gross Biomass Water Productivity, Net Biomass Water productivity, and Total Biomass Production for the period 2009-2019. The data also includes drought intensities represented using the Standardized Precipitation Index and Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration index (SPI & SPEI) over two rainfed locations in Jordan, one in Irbid and one in Madaba. Lastly, the dataset includes governorate-level wheat production in Irbid between 1991 and 2020 based on surveys done by the Jordanian Departement of Statistics.
