(1990) and FAO (1992), as described in detail in Klein Goldewijk and
Battjes (1995).
Notes:
Regional graphs show the
percent of total world land area; while the world graph shows the
total world area. Also note that the time scale for these graphs differs
from previous regional and world diagrams. For this graph only, data
for West Asia were included in Africa and in Asia and the Pacific.
