HYDE

The current HYDE version 3.5 is an updated and internally consistent combination of historical population estimates and also an implementation of improved allocation algorithms with time-dependent weighting maps for cropland and grassland, while the period covered is 10,000 BCE to 2025 CE. Continuous updating and elaboration of most recent satellite information, as well as more historical and archaeological sources are in full progress. Version 3.5 has now included a distinction of grazing land into pasture, natural rangeland, and converted rangeland, as well irrigated and rainfed cropland areas and rice. See the Land Change Lab from Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development.  HYDE portal. End January 2024, we have launched a HYDE Portal, which will enable the user to browse, query and explore the rich HYDE data sets in an interactive manner. HYDE 3.4 was completed and used for Global Carbon Budget 2024 (Friedlingstein et al 2025).
