Reads irrecoverble carbon data set published by Noon, M. L., Goldstein, A., Ledezma, J. C., Roehrdanz, P. R., Cook-Patton, S. C., Spawn-Lee, S. A., Wright, T. M., Gonzalez-Roglich, M., Hole, D. G., Rockström, J., & Turner, W. R. (2022). Mapping the irrecoverable carbon in Earth’s ecosystems. Nature Sustainability, 5(1), Article 1. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41893-021-00803-6 Protected areas were masked at a spatial resolution of 10 arc seconds before aggregating the data to 0.5°.
Arguments
- subtype
Defines whether carbon data or land area and related subtypes should be returned (see options below). Carbon or land subtypes need to be specified via ":" The different subtypes for land are: "IrrC_30pc", "IrrC_40pc", "IrrC_50pc", "IrrC_60pc", "IrrC_70pc", "IrrC_80pc", "IrrC_90pc", "IrrC_100pc" which corresponds to the land area that was unprotected in 2020 and is covered by the respective percentile of all irrecoverable carbon.
IrrC_50pce.g. returns all unprotected land that contains the top 50\,% of global irrecoverable carbon.
