The spatial delineation of managed and unmanaged land is essential for ensuring consistency between spatial datasets (e.g. remote sensing products and atmospheric greenhouse gas inversions) and national GHG inventory reporting under the UNFCCC. According to the recent National Inventory Document (NID, 2025), managed land in Russian Federation accounts for 940 million ha, or 56% of the total land area. This dataset provides a spatially explicit delineation of managed and unmanaged land across Russia for the year 2020. It is specifically designed to support comparison between spatial datasets and national inventory reporting. The classification is based on a combination of global land cover products and auxiliary datasets. The ESA WorldCover 2021 dataset (Zanaga et al., 2022) was used as the base land cover map.
