Land Use and Land Cover Change Projection in the ABoVE Domain
This dataset provides projections of land use and land cover (LULC) change within the Arctic Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) domain, spanning from 2015 to 2100 with a spatial resolution of 0.25 degrees. It includes LULC change under two Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP126 and SSP585) derived from Global Change Analysis Model (GCAM) at an annual scale. The specific land types include: needleleaf evergreen tree-temperate, needleleaf evergreen tree-boreal, needleleaf deciduous tree-boreal, broadleaf evergreen tree-tropical, broadleaf evergreen tree-temperate, broadleaf deciduous tree-tropical, broadleaf deciduous tree-temperate, broadleaf deciduous tree-boreal, broadleaf evergreen shrub-temperate, broadleaf deciduous shrub-temperate, broadleaf deciduous shrub-boreal, C3 arctic grass, C3 grass, C4 grass, and C3 unmanaged rainfed crop. The data were generated by integrating regional LULC projections from GCAM with high-resolution MODIS land cover data and applying two alternative spatial downscaling models: FLUS and Demeter. Data are provided in NetCDF format.
