Loeas area origilal data is from

Haase, D., Fink, J., Haase, G., Ruske, R., Pecsi, M., Richter, H., Altermann, M., Jäger, K. D. (2007): Loess in Europe - its spatial distribution based on a European Loess Map, scale 1:2,500,000 Quat.Sci.Rev. 26 (9-10), 1301-1312

Data is processad with various image and GIS utils.

Temperature limits are according downscaled Worldclim 1.4 CCSM4 2.5 min data.
