Cultivated area extent in 2011 and 2016, Al Eis, Syria

Cultivated area extent in 2011 and 2016. The time comparison shows that the cultivated area extent has decreased by more than half over the conflict. In 2016 mostly winter crops were cultivated in the northern part, while summer and spring crops are found mostly in the southern part, where also more water resources are available. The eastern part is not anymore under cultivation, which is most likely related to the fact that this area was part of the conflict zone and a war frontier.
