Copernicus Global Land Operations product (Buchhorn et al. 2019), which is based on the UN FAO Land Cover Classification System (LCCS), so that users can compare actual (https://lcviewer.vito.be/) vs potential (this data set) land cover. Two classes not available in the LCCS were added: \"subtropical/tropical mangrove vegetation\" and \"sub-polar or polar barren-lichen-moss, grassland\". The map was created using relief and climate variables representing conditions the climate for the last 20+ years and predicted at 250 m globally using an Ensemble Machine Learning approach as implemented in the mlr package for R.
