Detailed global datasets for 1990, 2015, and 2017 for land use modification of terrestrial lands (excluding Antarctica) are provided here. These data were calculated using the degree of human modification approach that combines the proportion of a pixel of a given stressor (i.e. footprint) times the intensity of that stressor (ranging from 0 to 1.0). Our novel datasets are detailed (~300m resolution), temporally consistent (for 1990-2015), comprehensive (11 change stressors, 14 current), robust (using an established framework and incorporating classification errors and parameter uncertainty), and strongly validated. A dataset for ~2017 is also provide, that is derived from 14 stressors, for an even more comprehensive dataset, but it should not be used to calculate change with the other datasets (1990-2015).
