title: <b>Consistent global datasets on Land Use, Biodiversity Intactness Index, and Biodiversity Intactness Footprint of Agricultural Production from 2000 to 2020</b>

description: This archive provides consistent global datasets on <b>H</b><b>armonized Land-use (HHLU)</b>, <b>B</b><b>iodiversity Intactness Index (BII)</b>, and <b>B</b><b>iodiversity Intactness Footprint</b><b> (BIIFP)</b> of Agricultural production from 2000 to 2020.Global High-resolution Harmonized Land Use (HHLU) maps reflect land use and vegetation states in seven (07) categories: (1) Primary-minimal use vegetation, (2) Primary vegetation, (3) Secondary vegetation, (4) Cropland, (5) Urban lands, (6) Pasture/Grazing lands, (7) Agroforestry.Land-use Fraction (LUF) maps present land-use proportions for each aggregated location for land use classes corresponding to HHLU (value range, 0-1). <i>Primary minimal-use vegetation and Primary vegetation are combined into Primary vegetation.</i>Biodiversity Intactness Index (BII) maps simulate terrestrial biodiversity integrity across all land use categories, ranging from 0 to 1.Biodiversity loss footprint (BII loss) tabular data allocates biodiversity loss footprints induced by agricultural production (crops and livestock), which estimates BII loss over 14 biomes, 193 countries and territories, 154 crops, and 09 livestock categories from 2000 to 2020.<br>** For more details about methodology and data description, please visit the original data descriptor paper:Nguyen, C.T., Vačkářová, D. & Weinzettel, J. <b>Consistent global dataset on biodiversity intactness footprint of agricultural production from 2000 to 2020</b>. <i>Scientific Data</i> <b>12</b>, 1613 (2025). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-025-05901-0<br>___________________________________________________________________________<b>License and Usage notes </b>(Important update)<br><br>This dataset is intended to be released under the <b>Creative Commons Attribution–NonCommercial–ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0)</b> license.However, <b>Figshare does not support CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 as an available license option</b>.
