Hierarchical distribution of severe environmental constraints (FGGD)

The FGGD severe environmental constraints map is a global raster datalayer with a resolution of 5 arc-minutes. Pixels with no severe environmental constraints contain a value of zero. Each other pixel contains a cumulative class value that shows which environmental constraint is binding in the pixel area. The data are from FAO and IIASA, 2000, Global agro-ecological zones, as reported in FAO and IIASA, 2007, Mapping biophysical factors that influence agricultural production and rural vulnerability, by H. von Velthuizen et al.

IMERG

IMERG (Integrated MultisatellitE Retrievals from GPM) precipitation product was developed by NASA in collaboration with JAXA

Coefficient of variation (CV) of length of growing period (LGP), 1901-1996 (FGGD)

The FGGD CV of LGP map is a global raster datalayer with a resolution of 5 arc-minutes. Each pixel contains an average coefficient of variation of LGP for the pixel area over the period 1901-1996. The data are from FAO and IIASA, 2000, Global agro-ecological zones, as reported in FAO and IIASA, 2007, Mapping biophysical factors that influence agricultural production and rural vulnerability, by H. von Velthuizen et al.

GSP

Daily Snow Cover Extent (SCE) at 500 m resolution. A global mosaic derived from interpolated MODIS snow information of the Platforms Terra (MOD10A1) and Aqua (MYD10A1).

Terrain slope classes of the world (FGGD)

The FGGD terrain slope map is a global raster datalayer with a resolution of 5 arc-minutes. Each pixel contains a terrain slope class value for the pixel area. The data are from U.S. Geological Survey, 1993, GTOPO 30, as reported in FAO and IIASA, 2000, Global agro-ecological zones, and FAO and IIASA, 2007, Mapping biophysical factors that influence agricultural production and rural vulnerability, by H. von Velthuizen et al.

Waterbase

Waterbase is the generic name given to the EEA's databases on the status and quality of Europe's rivers, lakes, groundwater bodies and transitional, coastal and marine waters, on the quantity of Europe's water resources, and on the emissions to surface waters from point and diffuse sources of pollution.

WorldCereal

In 2023 ESA WorldCereal released the first dynamic system to provide cropland and crop type maps at 10 meter spatial resolution. The WorldCereal consortium succeeded in providing detailed and seasonally updated global maps of temporary crops, crop type (maize, winter cereals and spring cereals) and irrigation for the year 2021.

ESA Land_Cover_cci Global Land Cover Maps

As part of the ESA Land Cover Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project a new set of yearly Global Land Cover Maps have been produced. Each pixel value corresponds to the classification of a land cover class defined based on the UN Land Cover Classification System (LCCS). The reliability of the classifications made are documented by the four quality flags (decribed further in the Product User Guide) that accompany these maps.
