Land Productivity Dynamics (LPD) maps based on approaches recommended by the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) for the Brazilian Semiarid Region (BSR). (Q6720554)

Maps of the land productivity dynamic (LPD) based on approaches recommended by the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) for the Brazilian Semiarid Region for the period 2001-2015. LPD from Trends.Earth (TE), LPD from the Joint Research Center (JRC-LPD), and LPD from the Food and Agriculture Organization World Overview of Conservation Approaches and Technologies (FAO-WOCAT LPD). In addition, TE-based LPD with climate correction based on Rain Use Efficiency (RUE), Residual Trend Analysis (RESTREND), and Water Use Efficiency (WUE) calculated using the procedures described in the second version of the Good Practice Guidance for SDG Indicator 15.3.1. The annual LCLU maps from the MapBiomas project at 30 m spatial resolution for 2001 and 2015, and the 16-day MOD13Q1 NDVI dataset from 2001 to 2015 were used as inputs. ********************** A total of seven GeoTIFF files in Geographic Tagged Image File Format (GeoTIFF) format are provided at 250 m spatial resolution.
