| Definition | "Primary and secondary land" is all vegetated land that is not in active use as cropland or pastureland, including forests, grasslands, bare ground and vegetated wetlands. "Primary land" is land that has never been subjected to human disturbance. "Secondary land" is land that has undergone human disturbance and has either subsequently been abandoned or is currently being managed for human use (e.g., wood harvest). Reference: Hurtt et al. (2011), Climatic Change, 109 - 117, Harmonization of land-use scenarios for the period 1500–2100: 600 years of global gridded annual land-use transitions, wood harvest, and resulting secondary lands, doi: 10.1007/s10584-011-0153-2. "Primary and secondary land" refers to a land use, rather than to specific categories of vegetation, and is distinct from the area types for primary and secondary trees. | |
