Southeast Asia Plantation and Natural Forest Maps at 10-m Resolution, 2017-2024

Annual classification maps of plantation and natural forests in Southeast Asia from 2017 to 2024. The dataset is 17.8 GB, stored as GeoTIFF files with a 10-meter spatial resolution under the WGS84 coordinate system. It was created by Cheng Rui and last updated on May 12, 2026.

Use Cases

• Monitor deforestation and forest conversion based on annual land cover classifications.
• Quantify the spatial extent of plantation forests versus natural forests over time.
• Analyze regional land-use change patterns across Southeast Asia from 2017 to 2024.
• Validate other land cover or forest products using the 10-meter resolution maps.

Strengths

• Provides eight consecutive years of annual data from 2017 to 2024.
• Offers a high spatial resolution of 10 meters for detailed analysis.
• Covers the entire Southeast Asia region.
• Files are stored in the standard GeoTIFF format with a defined coordinate system (WGS84/EPSG:4326).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is 17.8 GB, which requires significant storage and processing capacity.
