Consensus Land Cover (Global 1-km Consensus Land Cover), Version 1.0
A global 1-km (30 arc-second) consensus land-cover product for biodiversity and ecosystem modelling. The dataset integrates multiple global remote sensing-derived land-cover products and provides consensus prevalence (0–100%) for 12 land-cover classes at each grid cell. Two Version 1.0 variants are distributed: (1) Full v1.0 (with DISCover/GLCC), integrating GlobCover (2005–2006; v2.2), MODIS land-cover (MCD12Q1; v051), GLC2000 (v1.1), and DISCover/GLCC (v2; based on older imagery 1992–1993); and (2) Reduced v1.0 (without DISCover), integrating GlobCover, MODIS, and GLC2000 only, offered as an alternative for areas with substantial land-cover change in recent decades. Each variant contains 12 GeoTIFF layers (one per class). Values are unsigned 8-bit integers representing percent prevalence (0–100).
