This is a property of type Text.
F
Food availability per capita. +
Food availability, including fish and wild food. +
Forest management type: clear cut, selective logging, forest plantation or additional deforestation. +
Demand for forest plantation area. +
Harvest losses (from damaged trees and unusable tree parts) or harvest residues that are left in the forest by purpose because of environmental concerns. These losses/residues remains in the forest after harvest, in in principle enter the soil pools. But they could also be used for other/energy purposes. +
The fraction of forest harvested in a grid, in clear cutting, selective cutting, wood plantations and additional deforestation. Fraction of selective cut determines the fraction of timber harvested by selective cutting of trees in semi-natural and natural forest. +
G
Climate change patterns of General Circulation models used to downscale changes in global mean temperature to changes in temperature and precipitation at grid level; default pattern from HadCM3 of the Hadley Centre. +
Gross Domestic Product per capita, measured as the market value of all goods and services produced in a region in a year, and is used in the IMAGE framework as a generic indicator of economic activity. +
Scaled down GDP per capita from country to grid level, based on population density. +
Measure of income disparity in a population. If all have the same income, GINI equals 1. The lower the GINI, the wider the gap between the lowest and highest income groups. +
Global map of lakes and wetlands. +
Global emission pathway consistent with a specific long-term climate target. +
Average global temperature. +
Grass requirement; ruminants (nondairy cattle, dairy cattle, sheep and goats) are grazing animals, and part (in mixed systems) or most (pastoral systems) of their feed is grass, hay or other roughage; this grass requirement is calculated as a fraction of the total energy (feed) requirement. +
H
HDI: Development level of a country based on income, education and life expectancy. +
Fraction of harvested wood used as product, the remainder being left as residues. Specified per biomass pool and forestry management type. +
Wood harvested and removed. +
The database contains two levels of land cover information—detailed, regionally optimized land cover legends for each continent and a less thematically detailed global legend that harmonizes regional legends into one consistent product. The land cover maps are all based on daily data from the VEGETATION sensor on-board SPOT 4. +
I
Assumptions on income and price elasticities of demand, substitution elasticities, and many other elasticities, +
Increase in irrigated area, often based on external projections (e.g., FAO). +
