Agricultural activities have dramatically altered our planet’s land surface. To understand the extent and spatial distribution of these changes, we combine a global data set of croplands and pastures circa 2000 by combining agricultural inventory data and satellite-derived land cover data. The agricultural inventory data is used to train a land cover classification data set obtained by merging two different satellite-derived products (Boston University’s MODIS-derived land cover product and the GLC2000 data set). The data are presented at 5 min (~10 km) spatial resolution in latitude by longitude. According to the data, there were 15 million km2 of cropland (12% of the Earth’s ice-free land surface) and 28 million km2 of pasture (22%) in the year 2000. |
