1 Area proportion of a type in total global land area. The calculation formula is Si/Sg, where Si means area of i type, Sg means area of the total global land. 2 Area proportion of a type in global land area of that type. The calculation formula is Si, B&R/Si, global, where Si, B&R means area of i type in B&R, Si, global means area of i type in global. 3 Area proportion of a type in B&R land area. The calculation formula is Si/SB&R, where Si means area of i type, SB&R means area of the B&R land area.
