  • ldg = theme: land degradation,
  • forest.cover = variable: forest / tree cover,
  • esacci.ifl = determination method: combination of ESA land cover and IFL maps,
  • c = factor,
  • 250m = spatial resolution / block support: 250 m,
  • s0..0cm = vertical reference: land surface,
  • 1995 = time reference: year 1995,
  • v0.1 = version number: 0.1,
