This HYDE version is used as input for the 2023 Global Carbon Budget estimate, version hyde33_MapBiomas_c7.
Major updates:
• Radiocarbon data from the IMSET project (Marc vd Lind, pers.comm.), new estimates for EurAsia of the onset of agriculture (timing and location, gridded maps)
• Implementation of new archaeological expertise from the ArchaeoGlobe Project (Stephens et al, 2019), onset of agriculture (timing and location per region, outside EurAsia)
• Use of most recent and higher resolution satellite information on land cover from the European Space Agency (ESA) consortium for the spatial land use allocation on a yearly basis from 1992 – 2018.
• Use of different remote sensing imagery (MODIS) and statistics (MapBiomas) for Brazil for the 1985-2020 period, and for Indonesia for the 2000-2019 period (MapBiomas c7 version).
• Extension of the database to year 2023
• More input on sub-national level for cropland and grazing land
• netCDF added as output format
