The files include the predicted potential gross primary productivity of forests, grasslands and croplands used in Krause et al. (2022): Quantifying the impacts of land cover change on gross primary productivity globally, Scientific Reports. We provide two files: one including only grid-cells suitable for all three land cover types and one including all grid-cells (in this case the predictions might be unrealistic for some regions such as deserts). Both files include five columns: longitude, latitude, forest potential GPP, grassland potential GPP and cropland potential GPP.
