Historical maximum extent of generic land cover types derived from the CCI land cover dataset
This dataset provides historical representations of the spatial distribution of generic land cover classes. To derive these data, we thematicaly aggregated the CCI land cover into generic class groups (e.g. agriculture, desertic) on a yearly basis. Then, for each derived layer, we derived a mask with its maximum historical extent. Finally, we resampled the output to a 1-km resolution, depicting per-pixel percentages of the given class group.
