  19. Title: Hectacres Occupied by Pasturelands and Feed Crops

    Contributors:

    Summary: This multi-band raster data represents hectacres of pastureland that are currently occupied by feed crops. The pixel band ranges represent two estimated values: areas sourced from the lowest carbon areas and areas sourced from the highest carbon areas. The data is captured at a resolution of 5 arcminutes over the global domain. This data is released with an Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license.

  20. Title: Carbon Opportunity Cost of Present-Day Pasturelands and Animal Feed Crops

    Contributors:

    Summary: 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/.
