Description
Through integrating multi-source data including high-resolution remote sensing image-based land use and land cover (LULC) data, model-based land use products, and historical land archives, we reconstructed historical LULC at an annual time scale and 1 km x 1 km resolution in the contiguous United States (CONUS) from 1630 to 2020. Compared to other historical LULC datasets, our data can capture the major characters of LULC as well as provide more accurate information with higher spatial and temporal resolution. The LULC data can be used for regional studies in a wide range of topics including LULC impacts on the ecosystem, biodiversity, water resource, carbon and nitrogen cycles, and greenhouse gas emissions.
