# Analysis and Applications of GlobeLand30: A Review
## 3 User Analysis
### Application Fields  
GlobeLand30 data has been widely used in a number of Social Benefits Areas (SBAs), including climate change adaptation, biodiversity and ecosystem sustainability, disaster resilience, energy and mineral resources management, food security and sustainable agriculture, infrastructure and transportation management, public health surveillance, sustainable urban development, water resources management, and so on. Table 3 summarizes its applications in these SBAs based on the user registration information. The biodiversity and ecosystem is the largest application area and comprises over 26% in all research areas. The second largest application area of GlobeLand30 is sustainable urban development, accounting for nearly 16% of all applications. The applications in disaster resilience, food security and sustainable, and water resources management have proportions of over 10%. The number of users from universities and institutes has exceeded 75% of all users. Roughly 60% of applications of GlobeLand30 in laboratories of universities are found in biodiversity and ecosystem, energy and mineral resources management, and sustainable urban development. One of the reasons for this use is the ability of the 30 m land cover dataset to represent ecologically-relevant features at multiple spatial scales, thereby making it a powerful tool for studying ecological environment distributions [48]. Beijing Normal University used GlobeLand30 to analyze the impacts of land cover change on ecosystem service values over a 10-year period and summarized that the negative impacts of urban expansion on ecosystem services can be offset by positive changes to natural landscapes, \begin{table}
