[Descripción] The data set describes the geographic distributions of 13 classes of vegetation cover (plus water and unclassified classes) based on a modified International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) legend. The data set also provides the fraction of each of the 15 classes within the coarser resolution cells. This data set provides global classified land cover grids at three spatial resolutions of 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0 degree in latitude and longitude.
