Kenya - Aboveground Biomass

This dataset contains annual, 100m-resolution above ground biomass (AGB) estimates from CTrees, a NASA-affiliated forest-carbon monitoring organization, clipped to this country's boundary from CTrees' global AGB raster. Pixel values are stored as int16, scaled x10 relative to the true value in megagrams per hectare (Mg/ha) -- divide by 10 to get Mg/ha. See the caveats field and resource description for details on how this scale factor is recorded and why it isn't applied automatically by most tools.

Kenya Drought Biomes

Anthropogenic biomes, also known as anthromes or human biomes, are ecosystems significantly altered by human activity. They represent the terrestrial biosphere in its contemporary, human-modified form, using global ecosystem units defined by patterns of sustained human interaction. These biomes are categorized based on factors like population density and agricultural practice

Kenya: Copernicus Vegetation Index Anomaly (FAPAR Anomaly)

Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR) is a biophysical dimensionless quantity (its values range from 0/no absorption to 1/total absorption) used to assess the greenness and health of vegetation. FAPAR anomalies can be used as an indicator to detect and monitor the impacts of agricultural drought on the growth and productivity of vegetation. The data is presented in 10-day time composite of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS).

Kenya - GLIDE Disaster Events

GLIDEnumbers are GLobal unique IDEntifiers for Disasters. Each disaster is registered in a record that contains a GLIDEnumber that uniquely identifies it and allows information to be interoperable across multiple disaster information sources, both structured and textual. Accessing disaster information can be a time consuming and laborious task. Not only is data scattered but frequently identification of the disaster can be confusing in countries with many disaster events and across borders. To address both of these issues, Asian Disaster Reduction Center (ADRC) proposed a globally common Unique ID code for disasters. Among the institutions using actively GLIDEnumbers are UN-OCHA (ReliefWeb, FSCC, HDX), UNDRR, UNDP, WMO, IFRC, FAO, the European Commission and the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED), among many others. Country datasets are only produced for countries with at least one GLIDE event since 1 January 2022. The global dataset contains all events available from the GLIDE API, including those not assigned to a country.

Accessibility: Travel Time-Cost to Major Cities (Kenya - ~1km )

The dataset represents an estimated cumulative travel time/cost (raster grid) accessibility map, for Kenya's major cities. The map is an output of the sub-Saharan African Corridor, Mobile Warehouse Location pilot project. Modeled cities are: Nairobi (7,626,752); Mombasa (1,535,899); Nakuru (610,637); Kisumu (567,963) The calculation of cost/time distance surfaces is based on some assumptions: A. Road travel time/cost is computed for large trucks, it is assumed accessibility for large cargo freight vehicles, tertiary and local traffic roads are not included; B. Lake and river navigation are treated as a surface (polygons) not taking into consideration navigation infrastructure (points). The production of the travel time surfaces followed the steps: rasterization of transportation network vector layers and surfaces; production of cost/time layer; computation of a cumulative cost/time layer from cities (Major Cities Accessibility Map). **Data publication:** 2020-08-04 **Contact points:** Metadata Contact: [FAO-Data](mailto:fao-data@fao.org) Resource Contact: [Nelson Ribeiro](mailto:Nelson.RosasRibeiroFilho@fao.org) **Data lineage:** lineage statement Produced using OpenStreetMap data for road, railways, cities; GAUL country border; FAO Inland Waters in Africa; FAO Major Rivers in Africa; **Resource constraints:** This work is made available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license (CC-BY 4.0) **Online resources:** Zipped raster TIF file for Accessibility: Travel Time-Cost to Major Cities (Kenya - ~1km )

Lake and river navigation are treated as a surface (polygons) not taking into consideration navigation infrastructure (points). Regional travel time surfaces production steps are: rasterization of transportation network and surfaces and definition of cell travel time; creation of countries time/cost layers; combining countries into a regional cost layer; computation of a cumulative cost/time accessibility layer from cities (Regional Major Cities Accessibility Map). **Data publication:** 2020-08-04 **Contact points:** Metadata Contact: [FAO-Data](mailto:fao-data@fao.org) Resource Contact: [Nelson Ribeiro](mailto:Nelson.RosasRibeiroFilho@fao.org) **Data lineage:** lineage statement Produced using OpenStreetMap data for road, railways, cities; GAUL country border; FAO Inland Waters in Africa; FAO Major Rivers in Africa; **Resource constraints:** This work is made available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license (CC-BY 4.0) **Online resources:**
