GlobalCropYield5min: A global gridded annual major crops yield dataset at 5-minute resolution during 1982-2015

This dataset encompasses the latest version of GlobalCropYield5min, along with the used Crop Calendar. GlobalCropYield5min represents a novel global gridded annual yield dataset for major crops—maize, rice, wheat, and soybean—spanning from 1982 to 2015. It features a spatial resolution of 5-minutes and utilizes the unit of measurement "t/ha" (tonnes per hectare). Notably, we have released three preceding versions of this dataset, all consistently employing the unit "kg/ha" (kilograms per hectare). However, to align with the data description presented in the associated article and eliminate any potential ambiguity, we have updated the fourth version on Mendeley Data, explicitly stating the unit as "t/ha".
