[dataset] MapSPAM CropLand

This dataset is part of the MapSPAM series on spatial production. It is produced as interim result using GSCM v3.0 data on global cropland distribution as input. The cropland extent is measured to determine the places where production statistics can be allocated. It reports three major parameters by grid around the year 2010 (median, maximum cropland percentage and confidence score between 0 and 1).

"We apply an already-classified land cover image – where cropland has been identified (CropLand) – to determine the places where production statistics can be allocated. Comparing to SPAM2000 and SPAM 2005, SPAM2010 updates not only the statistics but also the cropland distribution: it uses the global cropland synergy map with a spatial resolution of 500 m circa 2010, jointly produced by CAAS (Chinese Academy of Agriculture Sciences) and IFPRI."
