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.

The global socio-metabolic transition: past and present metabolic profiles and their future trajectories: Online material and energy flow (MEFA) dataset.

This dataset contains data on material and energy flows for 175 countries in the year 2000. It provides data on domestic extraction, imports and exports as well as total and per capita values of apparent consumption of materials (in metric tons) and energy (in petajoule) by material and energy type. It contains the original data used in the Krausmann et al. 2008 (version 1.0) and a thoroughly revised version of the material flow data (version 1.1)
