The dataset provides data on global cropland nitrogen flows for the year 2000 and 2010 at country level simulated by GLOBIOM. The nitrogen flows include N fertilizer, N manure, N fixation, N deposition, and harvested N. GLOBIOM (Global Biosphere Management Model) is a global partial equilibrium model allocating land-based activities, i.e. management of cropland, livestock systems and forestry, under land availability constraints, to maximize the sum of producer and consumer surpluses. In a recent version,...

The Digital Revolution, including technologies such as virtual and augmented reality, additive manufacturing or 3D-printing, (general purpose) artificial intelligence, or the Internet of Things, has entered the public discourse in many countries. Looking back, it is almost impossible to believe that digitalization is barely featured in the 2030 Agenda or the Paris Agreement. It is increasingly clear that digital changes, we refer to them as the Digital Revolution, are becoming a key driving force in...

This collection contains data that were collected during a crowdsourcing campaign using Geo-Wiki (https://www.geo-wiki.org/). The campaign involved visual interpretation of a sample that is designed for validating any existing global built-up surface product. A zipped shapefile (ValidationGrids.zip) contains the random stratified sample of 50K locations, which consist of 80x80m grids further sub-divided into 10m cells so there are 64 cells per grid. These locations were provided to the crowd, who used very high-resolution satellite images...

These webpages document the IIASA Integrated Assessment Modeling (IAM) framework, also referred to as MESSAGEix-GLOBIOM. MESSAGEix-GLOBIOM is a global model, covering 11 world regions and was originally developed for the quantification of the so-called Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSPs). The documentation includes information on the spatial and temporal structure of the model, the socio-economic drivers, the energy supply and demand sector representation, the agriculture, forest and other land-use component, and the macro-economic and climate modules. It...

These EU-EPIC datasets contain sowing dates and potential heat units (EUEPIC_CALENDAR.csv) and N and P fertilizer application rates (EUEPIC_FERTILIZATION.csv) for major European crops.

Land-use change models can help in developing a holistic understanding of the range of potential impacts of different land-use related policy options, and so strengthen the development and implementation of policies to meet a range of objectives; including sustainable development, climate change mitigation, food security and biodiversity conservation. Member countries of the Central Africa Forest Commission (COMIFAC) have committed to sustainable management of the region’s forests, including under the COMIFAC “Convergence Plan”, and to achieving...

The input and output land cover dataset across all modelled time periods (2000-2050) and scenarios resulting from the work of the REDD-PAC project in Brazil. Please consult the data section of the REDD-PAC website (http://redd-pac.org/new_page.php?contents=data1.csv) to access a data visualization tool and to obtain the dataset in WFS format. This dataset can be accessed and displayed using GIS software such as QGIS. Please consult the metadata file for further instructions

This dataset contains maps of industrial oil palm plantations in Indonesia for the years 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015. This dataset can be accessed and displayed using any standard GIS software. It is available in GeoTIFF format and unprojected WGS 84 Datum with a cell size of 0.002277 degrees (approximately 30 meters).
