GlobES ecosystem dominance maps

Maps of ecosystem dominance generated from the GlobES ecosystem data cube. For each year in our time series, we iterated through each pixel, and classified it with a unique identifier corresponding to the ecosystem type with the highest area. The GlobES Data Cube includes global time-series for 65 ecosystem types and, therefore, the current dataset has a maximum of 65 classes. The output was a time-series of 27 yearly layers depicting changes in per-pixel ecosystem dominance between 1992 and 2018.<br>The list of classes and the corresponding unique grid identifiers is described in "legend.csv", which contains information on:<br>- Class identifier within the GlobES Data Cube ("class_id")<br>- Numeric identifier within the current dataset ("grid_id")<br>- Class name ("long_name" and "short_name")<br>- Ecosystem class group (ecosystem_group")<br>
