 ## Spatial and Temporal Extents
 
-The spatial extent of this dataset (so far only `NALCMS` that is a land cover dataset) covers longitudes from approximately `-180` to `-50` degress and latitudes from approximately `+14` to `+84` degress. This dataset is static and does not vary with time. 
+The spatial extent of this dataset (so far only `NALCMS` that is a land cover dataset) covers longitudes from approximately `-180` to `-50` degress and latitudes from approximately `+14` to `+84` degress. This dataset is available for 2010 and 2015. Furthermore, one static dataset variable is also included demonstrating the gains and losses of various land covers between 2010 and 2015. Please see the list of variables for more information.

+```
+
+Based on the metadata also available in the mentioned .zip file, the GeoTIFF data containing the `*_land_loss_and_gain.tif` phrase in their file name contain "[g]eneral land cover gains an losses [...] at the North American scale [...] for the following land cover class groups:"
+```
+  1. Forest
+  2. Shrubland
+  3. Grassland
+  4. Wetland
+  5. Cropland
+  6. Barren Land
+  7. Urban and Built-up
+  8. Water
+  9. Snow and Ice   
+```
+
+And, the pixel values of the mentioned `.tif` files are as following:
+
+|#	|Pixel Value |Value Description |
+|-------|------------|------------------|
+|1	|1	     |Gain	        |
+|2	|2	     |Loss	        |
+
+Furthermore, the GeoTIFF data named `NA_NALCMS_land_change_2010v2_2015v2_30m.tif` also contains the landcover change data. Each pixel value of the GeoTIFF file contains information regarding transformations between different landcover classes of the dataset at the North American scale. Each pixel values of the file contains three or four digits, with "[t]he first one or two digits in each pixel value show the land cover class in 2010, while the third and four digits show the land cover class in 2015." An example of digit values are given in the following:
+
+```

+206   = Class 2 to 6	"Sub-polar taiga needleleaf forest" to "Mixed forest"
+814   = Class 8 to 14	"Temperate or sub-polar shrubland" to "Wetland"

+1018  = Class 10 to 18	"Temperate or sub-polar grassland" to "Water"
+1502  = Class 15 to 02	"Cropland" to "Sub-polar taiga needleleaf forest"
+1716  = Class 17 to 16	"Urban and built-up" to "Barren land"
