Input data set: Historical Wood harvesting (group I+II)

Historical annual country-level and gridded wood harvesting and harvested area fractions covering the period 1850-2014, based on the LUH2 v2.1f Harmonization Data Set (see Hurtt et al. 2011; Hurtt et al. 2020; https://luh.umd.edu). 1850soc and 2015soc contain time series constant over time by replicating the scenario-specific year.

Gridded data was created with first order conservative remapping while country-level data was aggregated on LUH2s native 0.25° grid using a matching fractional country mask. Years overlapping with the ISIMIP3a version contain the same data.

- Variables:
wood harvest area from primary forest land (primf-harv)
wood harvest area from primary non forest land (primn-harv)
wood harvest area from secondary mature forest land (secmf-harv)
wood harvest area from secondary young forest land (secyf-harv)
wood harvest area from secondary non forest land (secnf-harv)
wood harvest biomass carbon from primary forest land (primf-bioh)
wood harvest biomass carbon from primary non forest land (primn-bioh)
wood harvest biomass carbon from secondary mature forest land (secmf-bioh)
wood harvest biomass carbon from secondary young forest land (secyf-bioh)
wood harvest biomass carbon from secondary non forest land (secnf-bioh)

Slighly diffenent results are to be expected when aggregating gridded to national data because of the involvement of remapping when going from LUH2's 0.25° to ISIMIP's 0.5 degree grid.
