Soil organic carbon stock (0–30 cm) in kg/m2 time-series 2001–2015 based on the land cover changes
Estimated SOC loss based on the European Space Agency (ESA) Climate Change Initiative (ESACCI-LC) land cover maps 2001–2015. This only shows estimated SOC loss (in kg/m2) as a result of change in land use / land cover (assuming standard change factors based on the literature and IPCC reports). Metho...

| Summary: | Estimated SOC loss based on the European Space Agency (ESA) Climate Change Initiative (ESACCI-LC) land cover maps 2001–2015. This only shows estimated SOC loss (in kg/m2) as a result of change in land use / land cover (assuming standard change factors based on the literature and IPCC reports). Methodology produced for the purpose of the Land Degradation Neutrality (UNCCD) project. Processing steps are described in detail here. Antartica is not included. To access and visualize maps use: https://landgis.opengeohub.org All files internally compressed using "COMPRESS=DEFLATE" creation option in GDAL. File naming convention: sol = theme: soil, organic.carbon.stock = variable: soil organic carbon stock in kg/m2, msa.kgm2 = determination method: derived from carbon content, bulk density and coarse fragments, m = mean value, 250m = spatial resolution / block support: 250 m, b0.30cm = vertical reference: standard layer 0-30 cm below surface, 2014 = time reference: year 2014, v0.1 = version number: 0.1 |
