Indicative distribution maps for Ecosystem Functional Groups - Level 3 of IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology
<p>This dataset includes the current version of the indicative distribution maps and profiles for <strong>Ecosystem Functional Groups</strong> - Level 3 of IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology (v2.1). Please refer to Keith <em>et al.</em> (2020) and Keith et al. (2022).</p> <p>The descriptive profiles provide brief summaries of key ecological traits and processes for each functional group of ecosystems to enable any ecosystem type to be assigned to a group.</p> <p>Maps are indicative of global distribution patterns and are not intended to represent fine-scale patterns. The maps show areas of the world containing major (value of 1, coloured red) or minor occurrences (value of 2, coloured yellow) of each ecosystem functional group. Minor occurrences are areas where an ecosystem functional group is scattered in patches within matrices of other ecosystem functional groups or where they occur in substantial areas, but only within a segment of a larger region. Most maps were prepared using a coarse-scale template (e.g. ecoregions), but some were compiled from higher resolution spatial data where available (see details in profiles). Higher resolution mapping is planned in future publications.</p> <p>We emphasise that spatial representation of Ecosystem Functional Groups does not follow higher-order groupings described in respective ecoregion classifications. Consequently, when Ecosystem Functional Groups are aggregated into<strong> functional biomes</strong> (Level 2 of the Global Ecosystem Typology), spatial patterns may differ from those of biogeographic biomes. Differences reflect the distinctions between functional and biogeographic interpretations of the term, “biome”.</p>
A global map of terrestrial habitat types
<p>We provide a global spatially explicit characterization of 47 (version 001) terrestrial habitat types, as defined in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) habitat classification scheme, which is widely used in ecological analyses, including for assessing species’ Area of Habitat. We produced this novel habitat map by creating a global decision tree that intersects the best currently available global data on land cover, climate and land use. The maps broaden our understanding of habitats globally, assist in constructing area of habitat (AOH) refinements and are relevant for broad-scale ecological studies and future IUCN Red List assessments. We hope that these data and outlined framework will spur further development of biodiversity-relevant habitat maps at global scales. An interactive interface helping to navigate the map can be found at on the Naturemap website ( https://explorer.naturemap.earth/map).</p> <p>Provided is the code to recreate the map (to made available soon), the global composite image at native -100m Copernicus resolution for level 1 and level 2 and layers of aggregated fractional cover (unit: [0-1] * 1000) at 1km for level 1 and level 2.</p> <p>Starting with version 004 there changemasks for the years 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 are supplied. Changemasks for the composite masks show the changed grid cells and their new values with earlier years being nested in later years, e.g. using the changemask for 2019 includes all changes up to 2019. For the fractional cover estimates at ~1km resolution, new fractional cover changemasks are supplied as subtraction (before - after) between the previous and current year (unit range: [-1 to 1] * 1000).</p> <p>We highlight that only changes in land cover are considered since most of the ancillary layers (e.g. pasture, forest management, climate, etc...) are static and thus not all changes in habitats can be found. We therefore recommend end users to continue using the 2015 dataset unless specific habitat updates to habitat are needed.</p> <p><strong>Citation:</strong></p> <p>Please cite the published paper and state the used version of the habitat map</p> <p>Jung, M., Dahal, P.R., Butchart, S.H.M., Donald, P.F., De Lamo, X., Lesiv, M., Kapos, V., Rondinini, C., Visconti, P., (2020).

Global Ocean Heat Content Anomalies and Ocean Heat Uptake based on mapping Argo data using local Gaussian processes
<p>Monthly Ocean Heat Content Anomalies (OHCA) in the top 2000 dbar of the ocean are calculated (during 2004-2024, equatorward of 65 degree latitude) subtracting the mean over the period 2004-2024 from the monthly time series of OHC. Yearly OHCA time series are then calculated that include 1. one point per year, i.e., from averaging Jan to Dec (see files ending in “yearly.nc”), and 2. two points per year, i.e., from averaging Jan to Dec and Jul to Jun, respectively (see files ending in “yearly2.nc”). OHC fields are mapped using locally stationary Gaussian processes (defined over space and time) with data-driven decorrelation scales (Kuusela and Stein, 2018). A linear time trend was included in the estimate of the mean field (along with spatial terms and harmonics for the annual cycle). Mapping is done separately for different vertical sections: 15-20 dbar, 15-300 dbar, 300-700 dbar, 700-1850 dbar, 1800-1850 dbar. The 15-20 dbar (1800-1850 dbar) section is used to estimate OHCA for 0-15 dbar (1850-2000 dbar), where observations are sparser. Different vertical sections are combined to estimate global OHCA time series for 0-2000 dbar, 0-700 dbar, 700-2000 dbar (as indicated in the file names). The attribute "area" is included in the netcdf files and it tells the corresponding surface area for the estimates. Regions of the ocean that are shallower than 300 m or are not sufficiently well sampled by the Argo array are not included. Maps of the ocean masks used for the different vertical sections can be found in the .png files (blue shading indicates the area used for the horizontal integral); the bathymetry mask by Roemmich and Gilson (included in the file RG_ArgoClim_Temperature_2019.nc at https://sio-argo.ucsd.edu/RG_Climatology.html) is also used to define the ocean mask. Ocean Heat Uptake is calculated from the monthly OHCA and then averaged as described above to produce yearly time series included in the files for the different layers.</p> <p>For the uncertainty at each time point, the standard deviation of each OHCA/OHU value in the time series is included. When plotting a time series, the user may consider, e.g., shading plus/minus 1* or 1.96*standard deviation (corresponding to a confidence level of 68% or 95% respectively). These standard deviations in the files are estimated using spatially and temporally dependent conditional simulations of monthly gridded anomalies. When combining different layers, the standard deviation of the sum is conservatively estimated as the sum of the standard deviations. </p> <p>Finally, OHCA/OHU trends are estimated via a least-squares fit and reported in the variable metadata with uncertainties (confidence level of 68%). Trend uncertainties are estimated by repeating the fit for each member of the conditional simulation ensemble described above.</p> <p> </p>

Sentinel2GlobalLULC: A dataset of Sentinel-2 georeferenced RGB imagery annotated for global land use/land cover mapping with deep learning (License CC BY 4.0)
<p>Sentinel2GlobalLULC is a deep learning-ready dataset of RGB images from the Sentinel-2 satellites designed for global land use and land cover (LULC) mapping. Sentinel2GlobalLULC v2.1 contains 194,877 images in GeoTiff and JPEG format corresponding to 29 broad LULC classes. Each image has 224 x 224 pixels at 10 m spatial resolution and was produced by assigning the 25th percentile of all available observations in the Sentinel-2 collection between June 2015 and October 2020 in order to remove atmospheric effects (i.e., clouds, aerosols, shadows, snow, etc.). A spatial purity value was assigned to each image based on the consensus across 15 different global LULC products available in Google Earth Engine (GEE). </p> <p> </p> <p>Our dataset is structured into 3 main zip-compressed folders, an Excel file with a dictionary for class names and descriptive statistics per LULC class, and a python script to convert RGB GeoTiff images into JPEG format. The first folder called "Sentinel2LULC_GeoTiff.zip" contains 29 zip-compressed subfolders where each one corresponds to a specific LULC class with hundreds to thousands of GeoTiff Sentinel-2 RGB images. The second folder called "Sentinel2LULC_JPEG.zip" contains 29 zip-compressed subfolders with a JPEG formatted version of the same images provided in the first main folder. The third folder called "Sentinel2LULC_CSV.zip" includes 29 zip-compressed CSV files with as many rows as provided images and with 12 columns containing the following metadata (this same metadata is provided in the image filenames): </p> <ul> <li>Land Cover Class ID: is the identification number of each LULC class</li> <li>Land Cover Class Short Name: is the short name of each LULC class</li> <li>Image ID: is the identification number of each image within its corresponding LULC class </li> <li>Pixel purity Value: is the spatial purity of each pixel for its corresponding LULC class calculated as the spatial consensus across up to 15 land-cover products </li> <li>GHM Value: is the spatial average of the Global Human Modification index (gHM) for each image</li> <li>Latitude: is the latitude of the center point of each image</li> <li>Longitude: is the longitude of the center point of each image</li> <li>Country Code: is the Alpha-2 country code of each image as described in the ISO 3166 international standard. To understand the country codes, we recommend the user to visit the following website where they present the Alpha-2 code for each country as described in the ISO 3166 international standard:https: //www.iban.com/country-codes</li> <li>Administrative Department Level1: is the administrative level 1 name to which each image belongs</li> <li>Administrative Department Level2: is the administrative level 2 name to which each image belongs</li> <li>Locality: is the name of the locality to which each image belongs</li> <li>Number of S2 images : is the number of found instances in the corresponding Sentinel-2 image collection between June 2015 and October 2020, when compositing and exporting its corresponding image tile</li> </ul> <p>For seven LULC classes, we could not export from GEE all images that fulfilled a spatial purity of 100% since there were millions of them. In this case, we exported a stratified random sample of 14,000 images and provided an additional CSV file with the images actually contained in our dataset. That is, for these seven LULC classes, we provide these 2 CSV files:</p> <ul> <li>A CSV file that contains all exported images for this class </li> <li>A CSV file that contains all images available for this class at spatial purity of 100%, both the ones exported and the ones not exported, in case the user wants to export them. These CSV filenames end with "including_non_downloaded_images".</li> </ul> <p>To clearly state the geographical coverage of images available in this dataset, we included in the version v2.1, a compressed folder called "Geographic_Representativeness.zip". This zip-compressed folder contains a csv file for each LULC class that provides the complete list of countries represented in that class. Each csv file has two columns, the first one gives the country code and the second one gives the number of images provided in that country for that LULC class. In addition to these 29 csv files, we provided another csv file that maps each ISO Alpha-2 country code to its original full country name.</p> <p>© <a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5055632">Sentinel2GlobalLULC Dataset </a>by Yassir Benhammou, Domingo Alcaraz-Segura, Emilio Guirado, Rohaifa Khaldi, Boujemâa Achchab, Francisco Herrera & Siham Tabik is marked with Attribution 4.0 International (CC-BY 4.0)</p>

Global wildland-urban interface maps in 2000, 2010, and 2020, based on GlobeLand30
<p>This dataset provides global wildland-urban interface (WUI) maps at a spatial resolution of <strong>30 meters </strong>for the years <strong>2000, 2010, and 2020</strong>. The WUI is defined as areas where the 200-meter buffers of urban areas (characterized by artificial surfaces) intersect with the 400-meter buffers of wildland areas, including forests, shrublands, and grasslands. These maps are produced based on land cover classification results from the GlobeLand30 datasets.</p> <p><strong>Projection Information:</strong><br>The projection information aligns with GlobeLand30 standards:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Projection:</strong> UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) for latitudes from S85 to N85, using a 6-degree zone system without zone numbers.</li> <li><strong>Polar Azimuthal Projection:</strong> Applicable for latitudes from S85 to N90 and N85 to N90, with the projection surface intersecting at the South and North Poles.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Naming Convention:</strong><br>The file naming convention is as follows:</p> <div> <div> <div> <div><strong>WUI_LHH_VV_YYYYlc030.tif</strong></div> <div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p>Where:</p> <ul> <li><strong>L</strong> = Latitude code (N for the Northern Hemisphere, S for the Southern Hemisphere)</li> <li><strong>HH</strong> = Number of UTM zone</li> <li><strong>VV</strong> = Starting latitude of the tile (each tile crosses 5° latitude)</li> <li><strong>YYYY</strong> = Year mapped</li> <li><strong>lc</strong> = Land cover abbreviation</li> <li><strong>030</strong> = Spatial resolution of 30 meters</li> </ul> <p><strong>Example File Name:</strong><br>For instance, the file named <strong>WUI_n15_45_2020lc030.tif</strong> can be interpreted as follows:</p> <ul> <li><strong>WUI</strong>: Wildland-Urban Interface dataset</li> <li><strong>n</strong>: Northern latitude</li> <li><strong>15</strong>: UTM zone 15</li> <li><strong>45</strong>: Starting latitude of 45 degrees</li> <li><strong>2020</strong>: Product year of 2020</li> <li><strong>lc</strong>: Land cover classification</li> <li><strong>030</strong>: Spatial resolution of 30 meters</li> </ul>
Global Ionosphere Maps of vertical electron content combined in real-time from the RT-GIMs of CAS, CNES, UPC-IonSAT, and WHU International GNSS Service (IGS) centers (from Dec 1, 2020, to March 1, 2021)
<p>The datasets consists on 91 daily files, in IONEX format (<a href="http://ftp.aiub.unibe.ch/ionex/draft/ionex11.pdf">http://ftp.aiub.unibe.ch/ionex/draft/ionex11.pdf</a>) , corresponding to three months of global ionospheric maps (GIM) of vertical total electron content (VTEC) computed in real-time from the assessed and combined real-time GIMs generated by four analysis centers. Indeed, the Real-Time Working Group (RTWG) of International GNSS Service (IGS) is dedicated to providing high-quality data, high-accuracy products for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) navigation, positioning, timing, and Earth observations. As one of the important part of real-time products, the IGS combined Real-Time Global Ionosphere Map (RT-GIM) have been generated by real-time weighting technique with the help of RT-GIMs from IGS real-time ionosphere centers including the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES), Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), and Wuhan University (WHU). Compared with IGS rapid Global Ionosphere Maps (GIMs) (corg, ehrg, emrg, esrg, igrg, jprg, uhrg, uprg, uqrg, whrg) and IGS final combined GIM (igsg), the IGS combined RT-GIM (irtg) is equivalent to the post-processed GIMs and even better than some rapid GIMs. The IGS RT-GIMs are reliable sources of real-time global VTEC information and has great potential for real-time applications including range error correction for transionospheric radio signals (such as GNSS positioning, search and rescue, air traffic, radar altimetry, and radioastronomy), the monitoring of space weather (such as geomagnetic and ionospheric storms, ionospheric disturbance) and detection of natural hazards on a global scale (such as hurricanes/typhoons, ionospheric anomalies associated with earthquakes)</p>

Typically covers 50—75% of the area, with significant open ground (with or without herbaceous understory) between them, where shrub canopies are less than 10 meters in diameter, and tree cover is below 10%, meaning they do not form a continuous or semi-continuous canopy.</li> </ul> <p>The dataset is organized in 69 global mosaics (25 years for each time series) in COG (Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF) format, WGS84 Coordinate Systems (EPSG:4326) and pixel size equal to 0.00025 degrees, including:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Probabilities</strong> of cultivated grassland (values range from 0–100),</li> <li><strong>Probabilities</strong> of natural/semi-natural grassland (values range from 0–100), and</li> <li><strong>Probabilities</strong> of open shrubland (values range from 0–100), and</li> <li><strong>Dominant</strong> class (0-other land cover, 1-cultivated grassland and 2-natural/semi-natural grassland, 3-open shrubland).</li> </ul> <p>All raster files are in unsigned <code>8-bit integer format</code> and use <code>255</code> as no-data value (pixels ignored by prediction), following an specific naming convention:</p> <ol> <li>Project name: Global Pasture Watch (<code>gpw</code>)</li> <li>Class name: cultivated grassland (<code>cultiv.grassland</code>), natural/semi-natural grassland (<code>nat.semi.grassland</code>), open shrubland (<code>open.shrubland</code>) and dominant grassland (<code>grassland</code>)</li> <li>Procedure combination: Random Forest (<code>rf</code>), median filter (med.filt) and balanced threshold (<code>bthr</code>).</li> <li>Variable type: probability (<code>p</code>) and factor class (<code>c</code>)</li> <li>Spatial resolution: 30m</li> <li>Begin of time reference: date of first Landsat composite used by the modeling (<code>20240101</code>)</li> <li>End of time reference: date of last Landsat composite used by the modeling (<code>20241231</code>)</li> <li>Spatial extent: global (<code>go</code>)</li> <li>Coordinate system: World Geodetic System 1984, used in GPS (<code>epsg.4326</code>)</li> <li>Version: v2</li> </ol> <h3>Related resources</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Maps of dominant grassland:</strong><br><a href="http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15646181">2000-2002</a><a href="http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15644486"> 2003-2005</a><a href="http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15644623"> 2006-2008</a><a href="http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15647042"> 2009-2011</a><a href="http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15647681"> 2012-2014</a><a href="http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15648306"> 2015-2017</a><a href="http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15648551"> 2018-2020</a><a href="http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15648751"> 2021-2023</a> <a href="http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15649332">2024</a></li> <li><strong>Probability maps of cultivated grassland:</strong><br><a href="https://zenodo.org/records/13890401/files/ggc-30m.csv?download=1">2000-2024 (All URLs)</a></li> <li><strong>Probability maps of natural/semi-natural grassland:</strong><br><a href="https://zenodo.org/records/13890401/files/ggc-30m.csv?download=1">2000-2024 (All URLs)</a></li> <li> <div><strong>Grassland reference samples based on VHR imagery (2000–2024):</strong><br><a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15631655">GeoPackage files</a></div> </li> <li><strong>Global machine learning models (Random Forest):</strong><br><a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13952806">Parquet and joblib python files</a></li> <li><strong>Reference sampling design derived by FSCV:</strong><br><a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.11391517">GeoPackage and raster files</a></li> <li><strong>Harmonized reference samples based on existing LULC dataset:</strong><br><a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13951976">GeoPackage and raster files</a></li> <li><strong>Source code for reproducibility:<br></strong><a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13952867">GitHub release</a><strong><br></strong></li> <li><strong>Mapping feedback tool:</strong><br><a href="https://geo-wiki.org">GeoWiki</a></li> <li><strong>Data catalogues:</strong><br><a href="https://stac.openlandmap.org/gpw_ggc-30m/collection.json?.language=en">OpenLandMap STAC</a> <a href="https://global-pasture-watch.projects.earthengine.app/view/ggc-30m">Google Earth Engine</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Support</strong></p> <p>For questions of bugs/inconsistencies related to the dataset raise a GitHub issue in <a href="https://github.com/wri/global-pasture-watch">https://github.com/wri/global-pasture-watch</a></p>
