Land use fractions (urban, mines, agriculture, pasture, forestry, managed grassland, water and natural landscape) and associated human impact index in 101 lake watersheds sampled as part the NSERC Canadian Lake Pulse Network project. Land use and human impact index were calculated as described in Huot et al. (2019).

Units: Land use fractions (Relative watershed land use).
Human impact index, varying between 0 and 1, represents the mean of all the values across each cell in the raster layer of land use within a watershed (no units).
