Global loss of net primary production resulting from human-induced soil degradation in drylands

This dataset contains spatially explicit data (maps) on the extent of global human-induced dryland degradation as well as its impact on global Net Primary Production (NPP) at a resolution of 5 arc minutes. Data on extent are in percent-per-gridcell representation, data on NPP losses in percent of potential NPP (from Haberl et al, 2007, PNAS, see below). A layer on the global extent of drylands complements the dataset.

Global land use 2000

Maps and data on global land use in the year 2000

This dataset contains 5 layers on land use (infrastructure area, cropland, forestry, grazing land, and untouched areas) and one layer on grazing suitability. All landuse-layers are presented in fractional cover (percent per gridcell) and sum up to 100 percent coverage.
