description: "Global Moisture Recycling expressed as a fraction of evapotranspiration
  from vegetation that is providing precipitation to rainfed productive lands at a
  resolution of 1.5 degree. Atmospheric moisture recycling is the process of water
  arising from the surface of the earth as evaporation, flowing through the atmosphere
  as water vapor, and returning to the surface of the 31 earth as precipitation. In
  this case, evaporation includes canopy interception, soil interception, soil evaporation,
  vegetation transpiration, and open water evaporation. Likewise, precipitation includes
  all forms of liquid and solid precipitation.  To quantify the moisture recycling
  benefits associated with intact vegetation globally, we calculated the volume of
  water evapo-transpired that falls on all rainfed productive land. The rainfed productive
  lands are identified using the Anthromes dataset (Ellis and Ramankutty 2008).   For
  more information on this layer, including detailed methods, please see the lineage
  section of the accompanying metadata YAML file and/or visit the paper in the citation."
