Contents & fields

This dataset contains land cover classification for every 250m x 250m pixel across Australia from 2000 to 2008, classified into 34 ISO classes (ISO 19144-2) reflecting vegetation structure (e.g., crops, pastures, closed forest, sparse grasslands). Data derived from MODIS Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) time series (186 images). No field-level details are disclosed on the source page.

Research uses
