Value of 0 denotes sea/water/no vegetation pixel. Value of -1.7e+308 denotes NoData.
Two vegetation maps of insular and continental southeast Asia (Stibig et al. 2002; Stibig and Beuchle 2003) were combined to make a vegetation map of whole southeast Asia. To classify secondary vegetation by its primary vegetation type, primary vegetation type of pixels denoting secondary vegetation were estimated by a statistical model in which climate condition (WorldClim, Hijmans et al. 2002) and soil type (Harmonized World Soil Database, FAO/IIASA/ISRIC/ISSCAS/JRC, 2012) are used as predictor variable. The leaf lignin concentration map was made by assigning values of leaf nitrogen concentration (log10(%)) for each pixel of this new vegetation map based on their vegetation type.
