A global map of terrestrial habitat types

The GEE code to recreate the map will be made available upon publication at (https://github.com/Martin-Jung/Habitatmapping) and will be directly included in future uploads of the map. Asset data used in GEE are directly available from the original sources (see methods), or in the case of the Forest Management layer can be shared upon reasonable request. Users are advised to check the data repository for newer versions of both code and map, as we consider this product a "living map" that can be improved in the future pending better data availability. We plan further updates as Copernicus land cover data becomes available up to 2019 and we also plan to create variants that rely on the potential distribution of land cover ( https://zenodo.org/record/3631254 ) and biomes (https://zenodo.org/record/3526620). We would like to thank the NatureMap project (naturemap.earth) for providing funding and Google for open access to the computational infrastructure that enabled the production of this map. This project has benefited from funding through the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 766417.
