Material Flows Japan 1878 to 2005

The metabolic transition in Japan: A material flow account for the period 1878 to 2005: Online MFA 1878-2005 dataset.
This dataset contains data on extraction, imports, exports and apparent consumption by main material groups and primary energy by main energy types for the period 1878 to 2005. Data are presented as global totals (1000t), per capita of global population (t/cap/yr) and per unit of global GDP (t/$ 1990 intl. $/yr).

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.
