Title of the dataset: Tree_restoration_Effect_on_E_P_Q Creators: Anne J. Hoek van Dijke and co-authors (Martin Herold, Kaniska Mallick, Imme Benedict, Miriam Machwitz, Martin Schlerf, Agnes Pranindita, Jolanda J.E. Theeuwen, Jean-Francois Bastin, Adriaan J. Teuling) Related publication: Shifts in regional water availability du to global tree restoration, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41561-022-00935-0 Description: The dataset contains the results of the study ´Shifts in regional water availability due to global tree restoration´ (based on DOI: 10.1126/science.aax0848). The results present the changes in water fluxes with global large-scale tree restoration: * Change in precipitation (dP) * Evaporation before restoration, under current land cover (Eb) * Change in evaporation without feedback (dE) and change in evaporation with feedback (dEf) * Streamflow before restoration, under current land cover (Qb) * Change in streamflow without feedback (dQ) and change in streamflow with feedback (dQf) Without and with feedback refers to the feedback of evaporation recycling. Unit: mm per year Spatial coverage: Extent: -180E, 180W, -60S, 90N Temporal coverage: Climatologically mean. Input data has a varying time coverage: Climatological precipitation: 1980-2019 (MSWEP V2.8, (1)) Climatological potential evaporation: 1970-2000 (WorldClim V2, (2)) Current tree cover: 2000 (Hansen tree cover V1.7, (3)) Tree Restoration Potential: based on data with varying time coverage (4) 1: Beck, H.
