Abstract

This dataset provides long-term annual actual evapotranspiration (AET) estimates under current land cover (S0) and five land cover transformation scenarios (S1–S5). The scenarios encompass extreme and moderate deforestation, as well as low, moderate, and extreme afforestation. The AET layers quantify how land cover change modifies evapotranspiration patterns across Europe. All AET datasets represent the average annual period from 1991 to 2020. AET was estimated using a Budyko-based framework calibrated with lysimeter observations. Precipitation, potential evapotranspiration, and land cover classes, used to derive the Budyko parameter (ω*) through calibration, served as the primary inputs for computing AET using the Turc–Pike and Fu equations. The mean of these two formulations was combined with Copernicus land cover fractions to account for mixed land cover composition within grid cells. For afforestation scenarios, Budyko-derived AET estimates were further adjusted using Total Tree Potential to represent feasible increases in tree cover. Grid cells classified as “water” in the land cover dataset were excluded from AET computations. This product is intended to support hydrological modelling, climate–land–water assessments, groundwater planning, and environmental analyses. All files are delivered in GeoTIFF (float32) format at a spatial resolution of 100 × 100 m. The dataset uses the ETRS89 / LAEA Europe projection (EPSG: 3035).
