Derivation Of Plant Functional Type (Pft) Maps From The Esa Cci Land Cover Product

<em>This package supplements the following paper submitted to ESSD: <strong>Gross and net land cover changes of the main plant functional types derived from the annual ESA CCI land cover maps (1992-2015).</strong></em> <em>Li, W., MacBean, N., Ciais, P., Defourny, P., Lamarche, C., Bontemps, S., Houghton, R. A. and Peng, S.: Gross and net land cover changes based on plant functional types derived from the annual ESA CCI land cover maps, Earth Syst. Sci. Data Discuss., 1–23, doi:10.5194/essd-2017-74, 2017.</em> <em>This package contains the protocol of converting the original annual ESA CCI Land Cover product into plant functional types (PFTs) that can be used by land surface models and the corresponding cross-walking table.</em> <em>The original ESA LC class data and translated PFTs in 2000 as an example are attached in the .zip file. The annual ESA CCI PFT maps from 1992 to 2015 at half degree resolution are also added in a .zip file.</em>
