Country-level Land Cover Transitions (CLCT) has information about transitions (net changes) of the land cover categories areas (in km2) on a country level over five-year periods. Positive values indicate an increase of the given land cover category area and negative values indicate a decrease of the given land cover category area. You can download the data files for different five-year periods between 1992 to 2015.
