    • LUCAS model spatial output data of historical and projected future land use and land cover for California

    Metadata Updated: September 12, 2025

    This dataset provides annual raster maps of historical and projected future land use and land cover (LULC) for California, USA. Changes in LULC over time were simulated using the Land Use and Carbon Scenario Simulator (LUCAS). Simulations were run at 1-km resolution on an annual timestep for historical (1985-2020) and projected future time periods (2021-2100). Projected future simulations were run under all combinations of four climate scenarios, two urbanization scenarios, and two vegetation management scenarios with 40 Monte Carlo realizations for each simulation.
