Spatiotemporal distribution of global peatland area during the Holocene

<p>The global peatland area dataset comprises netCDF files, which consist of 13 sets of maps showing the global extent of peatlands at a spatial resolution of 0.5&deg; &times; 0.5&deg;. All maps are provided at 1,000-year time intervals between 12 and 0 ka BP. The peatland area files named &ldquo;Global_peatland_area_BA_*&rdquo; were reconstructed using the BA method, and the files named &ldquo;Global_peatland_area_IDW_*&rdquo; were reconstructed using the IDW method. The global peatland records included data on location, latitude, longitude, peat type, basal ages, and end ages. The global pollen of <em>Sphagnum</em>&nbsp; records included latitude, longitude,<em> Sphagnum</em> content, and peat basal and end ages.</p>
