Data sets

LUCAS LUC historical land use and land cover change dataset for Europe (Version 1.1) Peter Hoffmann, Vanessa Reinhart, and Diana Rechid https://doi.org/10.26050/WDCC/LUC_hist_EU_v1.1

LUCAS LUC future land use and land cover change dataset for Europe (Version 1.1) Peter Hoffmann, Vanessa Reinhart, and Diana Rechid https://doi.org/10.26050/WDCC/LUC_future_EU_v1.1

Short summary

This paper introduces the new high-resolution land use and land cover change dataset LUCAS LUC for Europe (version 1.1), tailored for use in regional climate models. Historical and projected future land use change information from the Land-Use Harmonization 2 (LUH2) dataset is translated into annual plant functional type changes from 1950 to 2015 and 2016 to 2100, respectively, by employing a newly developed land use translator.
