Land use partitioned by region (sub-national) and year (1992-2019)

Land Use partitioned by sub-national region and year (1992-2019) <strong>What is this ?</strong> This archive includes land use partitioned by sub-national administrative region and year, i.e. for each year a table reports the count of each land-use class per region. Data is available as one CSV file per year in the folder "out-computedLUseStatsByRegionAndYear". This archive contains also the set of scripts used to compute that partition (including input data download) and that can be easily modified to retrieve a partition by a different geographical level. <strong>Warnings</strong> This data should only be used to compute the <em>relative</em> ratio of each land-use class in each region. Due to several issues in projecting the data, the sum of the counts multiplied by the nominal area of each pixel (90000 sq.m) is <strong>NOT</strong> equal to the area of the region. However the shares of land uses should remain invariant to the projections and unbiased. By construction, land use classes are hierarchically organised. For example, to obtain land use in class "Tree cover, broadleaved, deciduous, closed to open (&gt;15%) (class 60), one has to sum the cells in classes 60+61+62. Same for classes 10, 70, 80, 120, 150 and 200. See the README on https://github.com/sylvaticus/landUsePartitionByRegionAndYear/ for further informations and citation format.
