Land-Use Harmonization 2 for Global Carbon Budget 2022 (LUH2-GCB2022)

  • 1. EDMO icon University of Maryland

Description

The Land-Use Harmonization 2 (LUH2) dataset is updated every year for use in the annual Global Carbon Budget (GCB) simulations and publications. The LUH2-GCB2022 dataset represents the land-use data used by DGVMs and book-keeping models in the GCB 2022. It improves representation of deforestation in Brazil by using new remote sensing data from MapBiomas and it corrects previous cropland input data errors from FAO for the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
