Matthews, E

Global data bases of vegetation, land use, and land cover have been compiled for use in climate studies at a 1/sup 0/ latitude x 1/sup 0/ longitude resolution, drawing on approximately 100 published sources. Each of these data sets covers the entire land surface of the earth. They all include non-zero data for permanent land only, including continental ice; water, including oceans and lakes, is zero. This report includes maps, presented by continent, of the complete archived data, with the exception of Antarctica. This series of maps is designed to be used independently or as a complement to the archived data.
