Abstract
Code and datasets for the manuscript titled "Pre-Rain Green-Up in African woodlands and savannas is driven by hydrology rather than photoperiod". Rasters of pure tree cover (resampled to 10m) were requested directly from the authors of More than one quarter of Africa’s tree cover is found outside areas previously classified as forest. All other datasets used in this analysis were derived from the following publicly available sources: ESA WorldCover MODIS Land Cover Type Yearly Global (MCD12Q1.061) Harmonized Sentinel-2 Level 2-A (Surface Reflectance) Climate Hazards Center InfraRed Precipitation with Station data (CHIRPS v2) NASA DEM Global 1 Arc Second V001 WoSIS SoilGrids 2.0
