Data description:
Global land cover maps at 300 m spatial resolution provided on an annual basis from 1992. Each pixel value corresponds to the label of a land cover class defined based on the UN Land Cover Classification System (LCCS). LCCS classifiers support the further conversion into Plant Functional Types distribution required by the Earth System Models. The typology counts 22 classes.
Summarized Classes include: cropland, forest, grassland, wetlands, settlements and other lands; the latter class being further split into shrubland, sparse vegetation, bare area and water.
