Aquaculture Land-Cover Dynamics in Ecuador's Coastal Region, 1985–2024: Reproducibility Package

This reproducibility package contains validated, study-specific analytical outputs supporting the manuscript “Aquaculture Land-Cover Dynamics in Ecuador’s Coastal Region, 1985–2024: Administrative Registry Correspondence, Recent Transitions, and Climate Exposure”. It includes aggregated MapBiomas Ecuador Collection 3.0 land-cover statistics; province-, canton- and parish-level analytical tables; 2023 registry–MapBiomas correspondence outputs; 2023–2024 transition summaries; fixed-footprint CHIRPS v3 precipitation and ERA5-Land temperature exposure summaries; publication-ready figures in PNG, PDF and SVG; validation logs; checksums; and manuscript-support files. Full source rasters, climate grids, raw INEC cartography and record-level MPCEIP registry files are not redistributed. MapBiomas class 31 represents mapped aquaculture land cover and is not equivalent to shrimp production, operational area or legal status. Climate indicators are descriptive exposure measures and do not establish causality.
