Fraction of global land cover classes (1992 – 2022) – derived variables from ESA CCI Land Cover time series
The ESA CCI Land Cover time series describes the land surface with 22 classes at a spatial resolution of 0.002778° (~ 300 m) annually from 1992 to 2022. Here in this dataset we calculated the fraction of each class in 4 grid schemes as aggregated factors of 5, 10, 50 and 100 pixels for the wh
The ESA CCI Land Cover time series describes the land surface with 22 classes at a spatial resolution of 0.002778° (~ 300 m) annually from 1992 to 2022. Here in this dataset we calculated the fraction of each class in 4 grid schemes as aggregated factors of 5, 10, 50 and 100 pixels for the whole time series. As a result, we created 22 layers per year corresponding to each of the classes for each grid scheme, representing the fraction of each class in the corresponding aggregated factors globally. We summarised the results by year, by class and by IPBES Units of Analysis (UoA). This allows end users to explore changes in the fraction of a single land cover class in their work with significantly less computational effort.
Fraction of 100 pixels (A100):
- By land cover classes: “ESA-LCCS-1992-2022_A100_ByClass.zip” – 38 layers corresponding to 22 classes and their subclasses, each layer contains 31 years 1992 – 2022, 30 km spatial resolution, GeoTiff.
- By years: “ESA-LCCS-1992-2022_A100_ByYear.zip” – 31 layers corresponding to 31 years 1992 – 2022, each layer contains 38 layers corresponding to 22 class and their subclasses, 30 km spatial resolution, GeoTiff.
- By IPBES Units of Analysis: “ESA-LCCS-1992-2022_A100_ByUoA.zip” – 4 layers corresponding to 4 IPBES units of analysis (Urban Areas, Cultivated Areas, Forests, and Anthromes), each layer contains 31 years 1992 – 2022, 30 km spatial resolution, GeoTiff.
Fraction of 50 pixels (A050):
- By land cover classes: “ESA-LCCS-1992-2022_A050_ByClass.zip” – 38 layers corresponding to 22 classes and their subclasses, each layer contains 31 years 1992 – 2022, 15 km spatial resolution, GeoTiff.
