Abstract:

Global Land Management Dataset 2020This dataset provides a global, spatially explicit map of land management intensity for the year 2020 at a spatial resolution of 0.01° (~1 km at the equator). Management intensity is classified across cropland, pasture, and forest systems using a harmonised, rule-based framework that integrates global datasets on land use, fertiliser inputs, irrigation, and forest harvest intensity.The dataset enables consistent global analyses of land management patterns and supports applications in land-use modelling, sustainability assessments, and human-environment research.

Spatial Extent: Global land areasResolution: 0.01° (~1 km)Coordinate system: WGS84 (EPSG:4326)Year: 2020

Each grid cell is assigned a single discrete class (values 1–50), representing land management intensity.Cropland: Very extensive, extensive (rainfed/irrigated), and intensive (rainfed/irrigated) classes for major crops (maize, wheat, rice, soybean, starchy roots), plus other cropsPasture: Very extensive, extensive, intensive, and unmanagedForest: Unmanaged, extensive, and intensive management for major forest typesOther classes: Urban, agroforestry, photovoltaics, unmanaged land, and water
