Improving the representation of high-latitude vegetation distribution in dynamic global vegetation models

The dataset presented here consists of two raster maps displaying PFT coverage based on a Remote Sensing (RS) and a Distribution model (DM) product. The data is covering Norway at a resolution of 30m and 100m respectively. The first PFT map is derived from RS originally created by Johansen (2009) using aggregation based on a conversion table which is closely described in the accompanying article. The second PFT map is created by first assembling vegetation type predictions from individual DMs carried out by Horvath et al. (2019), and then aggregating the types based on the same conversion table. The accompanying ".clr" file consists of RGB color codes used to display the PFT maps in a GIS software and was used to present the maps in the article.
