Historical and future land use and land cover data for the STARS4Water river basins

Dataset contains data on historical and future land use and land cover for seven European river basins (Danube, Drammen, Duero, East Anglia, Messara, Rhine and Seine) being case study basin in the STARS4Water, and a shapefile with river basin boundaries. The average area fraction of five general land use classes (crop, forest, grass, urban and other) within the project river basins was calculated at five-year intervals starting in 2016 and ending in 2051. This dataset was prepared based on the data available in the "LUCAS LUC future land use and land cover change dataset for Europe (Version 1.1)" repository (Hoffmann et al., 2022, DOI: 10.26050/WDCC/LUC_future_EU_v1.1).
