This layer shows the distribution of bare soil in Keur Massar (Dakar, Senegal) derived from Sentinel-2 imagery at 10 m spatial resolution. The satellite images were collected from Copernicus Browser (open access) on the 16th of April 2025. The Bare Soil Index (BSI) was calculated using the blue, red, near-infrared, and shortwave-infrared bands of Sentinel-2. Bare soil appears on the map starting from BSI values of 0.14, representing low bare soil presence, and gradually increases up to 0.3, representing high bare soil presence. This layer serves as an input for the project, providing baseline information on bare soil distribution to support the susceptibility assessment of illegal dumping sites. EPSG:3857
