Global Wetlands (v2) - CIFOR
This dataset shows a distribution of wetland that covers the tropics and sub tropics (40° N to 60° S; 180° E to -180° W), excluding small islands. It was mapped in 231 meters spatial resolution by combining a hydrological model and annual time series of satellite-derived estimates of soil moisture to represent water flow and surface wetness that are then combined with geomorphological data.<br><br>The Global Wetlands Map is produced by the Sustainable Wetlands Adaptation and Mitigation Program (SWAMP), a collaborative effort between the Center for International Forestry Research (<a href=""https://www.cifor.org"">CIFOR</a>) and the <a href=""http://www.fs.fed.us"">United States Forest Service</a>, supported by the United States Agency for International Development (<a href=""https://www.usaid.gov"">USAID</a>) and the CGIAR Research Program on Forests, Trees and Agroforestry (<a href=""http://foreststreesagroforestry.org"">FTA</a>).<br/><br>Term of Use: The information contained in this dataset is the exclusive property of Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) and any respective copyright owners.
