Satellite-derived land-cover heterogeneity indices for various spatial buffers around 73 research plots on the southern slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro - V 1.0

The product provides information on the percentage coverage of selected land cover classes in the vicinity of research plots belonging to the DFG Kilimanjaro research group. The coverage has been extracted from a Terra-ASTER based land cover classification.

The data set is based on the work of sub-project 1 (Climate Dynamics of the Kilimanjaro Region and Remote Sensing) as part of the DFG research unit 1246 (Kilimanjaro ecosystems under global change).
