Land cover classification for Siberia leveraging diverse global land cover datasets by Munseon Beak, Kazuhito Ichii, Yuhei Yamamoto, Ruci Wang, Beichen Zhang, Ram C. Sharma, Tetsuya Hiyama

“…We trained the RF classifiers with multiple land cover products to produce a more precise land cover product for Siberia. The validations showed that: (a) the generated new land cover data achieved the highest overall accuracy (85.04%) and kappa coefficient (82.62%); (b) the classifications of mixed forest (user accuracy: 97.85%) and grasses (user accuracy: 94.85%) demonstrated improvements, showing higher performance compared to most other types; and (c) by comparing the distribution of land cover across climate zones, we discovered that temperature is a critical factor throughout Siberia. …”
