TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe data sets and methodology to quantify the five major components of the global carbon budget and their uncertainties, including emissions from land use and land-use change data and bookkeeping models.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify all major components of the global carbon budget, including their uncertainties, based on the combination of a range of data, algorithms, statistics, and model estimates and their interpretation by a broad scientific community.

TL;DR: In this paper, a harmonized set of land-use scenarios is presented that smoothly connects historical reconstructions of land use with future projections, in the format required by ESMs, in preparation for the fifth Assessment Report (AR5) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

TL;DR: The authors presented a tool for long-term global change studies; it is an update of the History Database of the Global Environment (HYDE) with estimates of some of the underlying demographic and agricultural driving factors.

TL;DR: The anthropogenic transformation of terrestrial biomes during and during the Industrial Revolution, from 1700 to 2000, was mapped and characterized by map comparisons at century intervals in this paper, and the transformation pathways differed strongly between biomes and regions, with some remaining mostly wild but with the majority almost completely transformed into rangelands, croplands and villages.
