The results of the WISDOM process consist of a series of geodatabases resulting from the development of the Demand, Supply and Integration modules.
Demand module results.
The geodatabase resulting from the Demand module is based on 5 arc-minute grid cells (98 592 cells of approximately 9x9 km) and contains information on the spatial distribution of woodfuel consumption for the 10 countries covered by the study in a single sub-regional map. The themes included are:
• Consumption in rural areas with population density below 2000 inhabitants / km2.
• Consumption in rural areas with population density above 2000 inhabitants / km2.
• Consumption in urban areas.
Supply module results
The geodatabases resulting from the Supply module shows the distribution of woody biomass stocking and increment at two levels of spatial resolution: national maps at full resolution and a single sub-regional map at 5 arc-minute resolution explained below:
• 10 individual national maps of biomass stocking and increment at the resolution of the original national land cover maps. The land cover maps used in this study are the spatially aggregated versions of the national Africover data sets. Their scale is approximately 1:200 000.
• One sub-regional map of biomass stocking and increment by 5 arc-minute cells of biomass stocking and increment.
Integration module results
The geodatabase resulting from the Integration module is based on 5 arc-minute grid cells and contains information on the balance, within such cells, between the consumption of woodfuels and potential sustainable supply of woody biomass available for energy uses. Two geographic representations were made:
• Sub-regional maps of demand/supply balance by 5 arc-minute cell size (98 592 units). This data set is presented at global level as well as at national level.
• Sub-national aggregation of cell-level balance results (1 172 sub-national administrative units). This dataset is presented at global level (with enlargement for Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi that present relatively small sub-national units).
