This series of three-period land use land cover (LULC) 2-kilometer resolution datasets (1975, 2000, and 2013) aids in monitoring change in West Africa’s land resources (exceptions: Capo Verde at 500 meters, the Gambia at 1 kilometer and Tchad at 4 kilometers). To monitor and map these changes, a 26 general LULC class system was used. The classification system that was developed was primarily inspired by the “Yangambi Classification” (Trochain, 1957).
