IPCC Socio-Economic Baseline Dataset
Entry ID:
CIESIN_SEDAC_IPCC_BASELINE
Summary
Abstract:
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Socio-Economic Baseline Dataset consists of population, human development, economic, water resources, land cover, land use, agriculture, food, energy and biodiversity data . This dataset was collated by IPCC from a variety of sources such as The World Bank, United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and is distributed by the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN).
The data in Microsoft Excel (XLS) and Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) formats are available from the NASA Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC). Purpose: To provide a baseline dataset for the evaluation of climate change impact.

Quality
Some vegetation characteristics that are of importance to understanding broad scale and fine scale vegetation patterns within these bryophyte and lichen communities are as follows. In the Windmill Islands transition occurs from bryophyte to lichen communities with reduced water availability (Smith 1990a, Wasley 2004) as bryophytes require liquid water for survival while lichens are not dependent ...
