Data described in the article "Land use intensification increasingly drives the spatiotemporal patterns of the global human appropriation of net primary production in the last century" by Thomas Kastner, Sarah Matej, Matthew Forrest, Simone Gingrich, Helmut Haberl, Thomas Hickler, Fridolin Krausmann, Gitta Lasslop, Maria Niedertscheider, Christoph Plutzar, Florian Schwarzmüller, Jörg Steinkamp, Karl-Heinz Erb paper available at: https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.15932 contact: Thomas Kastner, thomas.kastner@senckenberg.de Version 1.01 In this new version 1.01, we changed the file structure to make the data more accessible, we added data on means across modulations as used in the paper, and we include csv files with national totals for the different HANPP components. ### Folder content and file structure of Version 1.01 Folder "results_216_versions" Contains multi-layer geotiff files for the detailed results of all 216 modulations presented in the paper. Information on the year, the HANPP component, the land use and the unit is contained in the filename. The different layers of the file correspond to the 216 modulation we computed. The names of the layers are structured as follows (in this order): "Land use" 1: Cropland reconstruction from HYDE 3.2, 2: Cropland based on Ramankutty and Foley , 3: combination of 1 and 2 "Productivity of the potential natural vegetation NPPpot" 1: JS-BACH, 2: LPJ-GUESS with nitrogen limitation, 3: LPJ-GUESS without nitrogen limitation "Allocation of biomass harvest on croplands" 1: Harvest follows patterns of NPPpot, 2: Harvest follows patterns of NPPpot and synthetic nitrogen fertilizer inputs "Allocation of biomass harvest on grazing lands" values refer to: 1: more concentrated in regions of higher productivity, 2: more evenly spread out across grazing lands "Extent of land degradation in drylands" 1: Low estimate, 2: High estimate "Level of HANPPharv" (only included where different for the respective HANPP comonent). 1: Baseline estimate, 2: High estimate, 3: Low estimate In addition data on the three used land use data sets are provided, with the layers named as follows: 1: Cropland reconstruction from HYDE 3.2, 2: Cropland based on Ramankutty and Foley , 3: combination of 1 and 2 Folder "results_means" Contains multi-layer geotiff files for the means across 216 and 144 modulations (details see the original paper). Information on the year and the number of modulations is contained in the filename. The different layers of the file correspond to the different components for the different land use types and indicate the unit. Folder "results_national_totals" Contains cvs files giving aggreagte results at the level of individual countries (according to the borders used, details see paper) in terms of land use and HANPP components. The multi-layer geotiff files can be accessed with, for instance the package terra in R or the package GDAL in Python.
