simulationunits_multipolygons_wfs_wgs84.shp

Basic simulation unit data for Brazil.

wfs_biomes.shp

Biomes. The biome map by IBGE was not used as input to create the GLOBIOM land cover map. It was used for aggregation statistics and for visual orientation while interpreting maps. The version available on the REDD-PAC WFS and on the website is a slightly adapted version of the original data available publicly at IBGE. We did a geometrical cleaning, when overlaps, rings, holes were removed. We also merged the the inland water bodies (rivers, lakes) to the surrounding biomes. We extende the biomes to cover islands close to the mainland, such as Ilha Bela and Ilha Grande. Islands that are far away (e.g. Fernando de Noronha) are not included. We corrected the boundaries of the biome map to match the municipality map.

wfs_conservationunits_mma.shp

Conservation units. The conservation units' map by MMA is one of the parts of the protected areas in GLOBIOM. The version available on the REDD-PAC WFS is a slightly adapted version of the original data available publicly at MMA. The original conservation units' map contains about 3.7 millions of hectares of overlapping areas. If such a map is used without removing the overlaps, areas can be counted twice, so we removed them. In the overlapping area, the part belonging to the smaller protected area is removed, but its ID is stored in the attribute 'overlaps', so no information is lost. The adaptations that were carried out include removal of geometry errors, and removal of overlaps. The version shown on the website was further simplified to reduce loading time (simplification using the QGIS simplification algorithm, deletion of sliver polygons below 2 hectares).

    area_panumberThis is the area of the entire protected area, before deletion of overlaps and including all parts of a conservation unit (in case it consists of spatially disconnected parts). In meters.
    loc_codestringThis is an id for the areas. Spatially disconnected parts have different Ids. Parts that overlap with other conservation units also get a different ID.
    overlapsstringThis map does not contain any overlaps. When two areas overlap, the part that belongs to the smaller area is deleted. Its ID is recorded in this attribute.

wfs_federalstates.shp

Federal States. It was created from the map of municipalities, by spatially dissolving the map using the 'Sigla' attribute. It was not used for the GLOBIOM land cover map, but is useful for visual analyses of land cover data.

wfs_indigenousareas_funai.shp

Indigenous Areas. The indigenous areas map by FUNAI is one of the parts of the protected areas in GLOBIOM. The version available on the REDD-PAC WFS is a slightly adapted version of the original data available publicly at FUNAI. The original map of the indigenous areas contains about one million of hectares of overlapping areas. If such a map is used without removing the overlaps, areas can be counted twice, so we removed them. In the overlapping area, the part belonging to the smaller protected area is removed, but its ID is stored in the attribute 'overlaps', so no information is lost. The adaptations that were carried out include geometry errors, as found by QGIS, were removed manually (QGIS), and removal of overlaps, using GRASS GIS and R. The version shown on the website was simplified to reduce loading time (geometrical simplification using the QGIS simplification algorithm, deletion of sliver polygons with area less than 1000 square meters).

wfs_municipalities_basis.shp

Municipalities. Boundaries of the Brazilian municipalities in 2007. It was used for distributing municipality-based agricultural data on the simulation units. The layers available on the REDD-PAC WFS and on the website are slightly adapted versions of the original data available publicly at IBGE. We deleted two polygons that are not municipalities but large lakes - as they have NULL values in most attributes, they disturb analysis. We computed the percentage of each municipality that is located inside the Legal Amazon area, using the Legal Amazon's outline. We added the attributes that were used for creating the GLOBIOM land cover map. This layer contains the basic information about the municipalities: The regions, the area size in hectares, the amount of area that is inside the Legal Amazon.

wfs_municipalities_pam.shp

Municipality layer with PAM values. This municipality layer contains the input values of the PAM study (crop area). These are the values by municipality which were used as input to the allocation algorithm. All attributes exist for the year 2000 and for the year 2010. Attributes exist in several units: Planted area in thousands of hectares (are_...), produced quantity in tons (ton_...), monetary value of the produced crops in thousands of Brazilian Reais (BRL) (val_...).

wfs_protectedareas.shp

Union of all areas that should be considered as 'protected' in GLOBIOM. Such areas are not available for agricultural expansion. It includes the conservation units, indigenous areas, and a subset of public forests.

Spatially overlaying layers that have overlapping areas often results in so-called 'sliver polygons'. These are small polygons that occur where the same boundary is present in both layers, but not precisely equal. These small polygons are not meaningful and increase computing time and file size. For removing them, we carefully analysed the union in a GIS to find out beneath which area size the polygons mostly are sliver polygons. All areas beneath 50 hectares were either merged to the adjacent polygon with the longest common boundary or deleted (if the longest part of the boundary not adjacent to any area). In this process, 323,838 hectares of protected area was lost, which is about 0.13 % of the total protected areas.

This layer is a union of three input layers, each of which has a set of attributes. If all attributes are kept, this results in a huge table with NULL values for most attributes (table of 1.5 GB). Thus, the attributes from the various individual layers were deleted, while keeping the Ids which allow to reconstruct which areas were included in the first place.

The version on the website, for further reducing loading time, was spatially dissolved. This means that borders between neighbouring areas were removed. The Ids of the individual areas can not be kept in this case. The website version is thus only a visual illustration of the protected areas, without any attributes. The following steps that were carried out to create this layer:
  • A spatial union of conservation units and indigenous areas is computed.
  • A spatial union of the previous union with the public forests is computed (resulting layer in GRASS: union_prot_indig_florpub).
  • Most attributes are removed (resulting layer in GRASS: union_prot_indig_florpub_ lessattrib). This reduces the size of the attribute table from 1.5 GB to 60 MB. Note: A csv file with all the attributes is available.
  • Small areas under a threshold of 50 hectares are removed or merged to adjacent areas (using the GRASS tool 'rmarea'; resulting layer in GRASS: union_prot_indig_florpub_ smallremoved). The shapefile size is reduced from 170 MB to 50 MB.
  • Dissolve version for the website (resulting layer in GRASS: union_prot_indig_florpub_ smallremoved_dissolved). This further reduces the file size to 20 MB.

wfs_publicforests_mma.shp

Public forests. The public forests map by MMA is one of the parts of the protected areas in GLOBIOM. The version available on the REDD-PAC WFS and on the website is a slightly adapted version of the original data available publicly at MMA. The original map of public forests contains about 0.1 millions of hectares (95,000 ha) of overlapping areas. If such a map is used without removing the overlaps, areas can be counted twice, so we removed them. In the overlapping area, the part belonging to the smaller protected area is removed. Its ID is stored in the attribute 'overlaps', so no information is lost.

wfs_simus_algorithminput.shp

Simulation Units with algorithm input. They represent fractions of the land cover per simulation unit. This is an input to the disaggregation algorithm used for distributing crops and pasture area. All fractions sum up to one. For some simulation units, there was not enough information available to cover the entire unit. In these cases, the fractions were expanded to sum up to one, i.e. we assume the land cover to be representative for the entire unit.

wfs_simus_terraclass2010.shp

Simulation Units with TerraClass 2010 data. All attributes express the share of a simulation unit's area that is covered with that specific land cover/land use. Thus, the attribute values range from 0 to 1 and all attributes add up to 1. In various cases, the state of Acre uses different class names than the other states. The classes with different names are kept separate in this dataset for the user to make his/her own choice of adding classes up. Note: The original description of the dataset which was provided along with the raster contains the class 'VS2008_SOB_NUVEM' (secondary vegetation of 2008 under cloud cover), but no pixel was assigned this class. The same goes for 'VEGETACAO_SECUNDARIA' (secondary vegetation), 'PASTAGEM_MUITO_DEGRADADA_SE' (very degraded pasture, secondary vegetation), 'NAO_FLORESTA_2' (a 2nd non-forest class), 'DV' (dummy value), 'FLORESTA_SOB_NUVEM' (forest under cloud-cover) and 'HIDROGRAFIA_2' (a 2nd water class).

wfs_vegetation_ibge.shp

Vegetation map of Brazil. The vegetation map by IBGE is the base map for the GLOBIOM land cover map. The version available on the REDD-PAC WFS and on the website is a slightly adapted version of the original data available publicly at IBGE. We cleaned the original data, by removing open seas polygons and eemoved Portuguese diacritics from text attributes. We also corrected 'Vegetacao Ombrofila' to 'Floresta Ombrofila', as on the official IBGE document, only 'Floresta Ombrofila' exists. We created the name, code and label attributes from the existing information of codes and names of current and previous vegetation. Finally, we added the classification to IGBP and GLOBIOM classes and the forest flag.
