The QFED vegetation classes are Tropical Forest, Extratropical Forest, Savanna and Grassland. The QFED vegetation map is derived from the global IGBP land cover data set by aggregating one or more IGBP classes into a single QFED class. QFED Tropical Forest corresponds to IGBP Evergreen Broadleaf for latitudes (30°S, 30°N), whereas QFED Extratropical Forest includes the rest of the IGBP forest types and IGBP Evergreen Broadleaf for latitudes outside the (30°S, 30°N) zone. All IGBP shrubland and savanna classes are aggregated into QFED Savanna class. Similarly, all IGBP grassland and cropland classes are agregated into the QFED Grassland class.
