Maps of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) indicator 15.3.1 with its sub-indicators for the entire Amazon River Basin

Maps of the SDG indicator 15.3.1 adopted by the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) together with its sub-indicators for the Amazon River Basin for the period 2001-2020. The sub-indicators are trajectory (or trend), state, and performance. The SDG indicator 15.3.1 was calculated using the procedures described in the second version of the Good Practice Guidance for SDG Indicator 15.3.1. The annual LCLU maps from the MapBiomas project at 30 m spatial resolution and the 16-day MOD13Q1 NDVI and SoilGrids dataset were used as inputs. In addition, annualized maps of drought severity derived from SPI12, SPEI12, and scPDSI are added.     

A total of seven GeoTIFF files in Geographic Tagged Image File Format (GeoTIFF) format are provided at 250 m spatial resolution.
