Global gridded maps of crop root distributions

We constructed geographically gridded data global maps of maximum and mean root depth in agricultural land based upon the crop and pasture distribution maps in Monfreda et al. (2008) and Ramankutty et al. (2008). The maps are relative to year 2000 and have a resolution of 5 arc-min (i.e., approximately 10 km at the equator).
