Gridded Livestock Density Kazakhstan (2000-2019)¶
This dataset provides medium-resolution (1 km) gridded livestock density estimates for horses and small ruminants (sheep and goats) in Kazakhstan from 2000 to 2019. The database was developed using random forest regression modeling, incorporating vegetation proxies, climatic factors, socioeconomic variables, topographic data, and proximity forcing variables. Each file is saved with an acronym of 'sheep_goat' for small ruminants (Sheep & goat combined) and 'horse' for horses, followed by an underscore and a year. Missing data are represented by "No data."
For detailed methodology, validation results, and further insights, please refer to the associated publication: "Gridded livestock density database and spatial trends for Kazakhstan" you can read the paper here and the dataset is available here.
