Figure 2

Image source: Screenshot from ca. 400% magnification (y-axis is cut of at 30000). This had a higher resolution than the files offered by the journal.
Tool: WebPlotDigitizer v4.1 (WPD)
Dataset contains:
- WPD JSON project file (folder WPD_Fig2)
- CSV exported from WPD with manual corrections (file Fig2.csv)
  - Year: Year of datapoint as in the publication
  - Building and infrastructure
  - Roads
  - Bricks
  - Railway
Steps:
- Automatic "Bar Extraction" algorithm in WPD
- Corrected order of data, because values had to be added manually in WPD
- Subtracted the data of the lower stack, e.g. roads minus buildings & infrastructure, to have the data series' individual value and not cumulated
Comments
- Yellow dataset (railway) is too small and was for very small numbers too blurry
