This dataset presents modelled predictions (spanning 2000-2022) for several important ecosystem services in the Lake Victoria basin in eastern Africa. The catchment includes areas of Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi (196,883 sq. km, excluding Lake Victoria itself). The dataset variables include carbon storage across multiple land pools, erosion avoided by the presence of vegetation cover, nitrogen and phosphorus retention by the landscape, annual baseflow (subsurface contribution to river flow) and annual quickflow (surface runoff). These data were generated by UKCEH scientists using the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services & Trade-offs (InVEST) platform of GIS models. The purpose of this dataset is to allow users to investigate how these ecosystems services vary spatially across the landscape and also how they may change over time. Users can also investigate where synergies and trade offs among different ecosystem services occur, which can help inform management decisions such as where to best target the planting of new trees for maximum environmental benefit. The dataset comes in the form of 30, single-band geotiff raster files. For each of the six modelled variables, there five files (one file per year: 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2022), at 90 x 90 metre spatial resolution, using the ESRI:102022 - Albers for Africa equal area projection.
