Peatland maps and wetland GHG emission factors

The data set includes maps of degraded (~46 Mha globally) and intact peatland (~375 Mha globally) for the year 2015. The spatial resolution is 0.5 degree. The data set also includes IPCC wetland GHG emission factors for degraded and rewetted peatlands. This dataset has been published originally as supplementary data set in Humpenöder, F., Karstens, K., Lotze-Campen, H., Leifeld, J., Menichetti, L., Barthelmes, A., and Popp, A. (2020). Peatland protection and restoration are key for climate change mitigation. Environ. Res. Lett. 15, 104093. DOI 10.1088/1748-9326/abae2a.
