Global wetlands data provides distribution and environmental characteristics of natural wetlands at a 1-degree latitude by longitude resolution. Compiled by Matthews and Fung in 1987, it integrates vegetation classification from UNESCO, soil properties from FAO maps, and fractional inundation from Operational Navigation Charts. The dataset was developed specifically to evaluate the role of wetlands in annual methane emissions from terrestrial sources.
