Land use fractions and human impact index in 101 Canadian lake watersheds

Land use fractions (urban, mines, agriculture, pasture, forestry, managed grassland, water and natural landscape) and associated human impact index in 101 lake watersheds sampled as part the NSERC Canadian Lake Pulse Network project. Land use and human impact index were calculated as described in Huot et al. (2019).
