A 1 km global cropland dataset from 10 000 BCE to 2100 CE

<p>Cropland greatly impacts food security, energy supply, biodiversity, biogeochemical cycling, and climate change. Accurately and systematically understanding the effects of agricultural activities requires cropland spatial information with high resolution and a long time span. In this study,...
