Human Pressures on biodiversity, water and carbon

In order to describe the human pressures on the biodiversity component of nature, we used the 2009 Human Footprint (HF) map. The HF is a widely recognised dataset describing the global, cumulative human pressure on the environment in 2009, at a spatial resolution of ~1 km (Venter et al., 2016). T...

short_description	The purpose of this dataset is to understand the spatial distribution of combined pressures on biodiversity, water provisioning services and carbon in the biomass and soils at a global scale. We selected a number of existing datasets which best represented pressures on these 3 components.
