Description

Amazon_peat_map: Predicted extent of Peat (organic soil of ≥ 30 cm thickness) across the study area (Amazon basin below 500 m and mean annual precipitation >1,390 mm) at 90 m resolution.

 

Amazon_ecosystem_map: Predicted landcover/ecosystem distribution across the Amazon basin (Amazon basin below 500 m and mean annual precipitation >1,390 mm) at 90 m resolution, for the following classes: non-peat below forest (NF), peat below forest (PF), peat below non-forest (i.e. herbaceous vegetation and shrubland, PN), non-peat below non-forest (NN) and open water (WA).
