Carbon Opportunity Cost of Present-Day Pasturelands and Animal Feed Crops

Description:

This multi-band raster data represents estimates of carbon opportunity cost. The data is captured at a resolution of 5 arcminutes over the global domain and is derived from data collected approximately over the past two decades (2000-2020). The pixel values measure estimates in tonnes of potential vegetation per hectare that are suppressed by pasturelands and present-day feed crops. The bands represent three estimates of carbon in potential vegetation: median, low (5th percentile), and high (95th percentile). This data is released with an Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license. Users may cite this collection with https://doi.org/10.17609/q5pe-7r68/.
