Global ensemble of land cover indicators at 100 m (2000-2003): Terra firma short vegetation cover (part 1 of 7)

This dataset provides a global time series of land cover indicators at 100 m spatial resolution for the period 2000–2024. It is part of a global ensemble of eight land cover indicators derived from two global land cover products, namely GLAD GLCLUC and GLC_FCS30D. The dataset was generated by combining the source land cover products through temporal interpolation, weighted averaging, and class overwriting. The native resolution of the source products is 30 m. The resulting data were resampled to 100 m using average resampling and are provided as COGs. The eight land cover indicators included in the overall dataset are: tfshortveg, tftrees, wtshortveg, wttrees, water, cropland, snowice, builtup Further details on the methodology, source datasets, processing workflow, and data structure are available in the associated GitHub repository. This Zenodo record contains the terra firma short vegetation cover (tfshortveg) indicator. The indicator represents cover of short vegetation on dry ground, from true desert (~3%) to dense short vegetation (100%). Value type: Percentage (0-100%) Years covered: 2000-2003
