Depleted Mangrove Forest in the Coastal Zone of Cambodia maps land cover in Koh Kong province. It contains data classified into two land use classes: mangrove forest and shrimp farm. The dataset is provided by CEOS_EXTRA via NASA's Earthdata platform.
Use Cases
- Quantify the spatial extent of mangrove forest loss by analyzing the classified 'Mangrove forest' and 'Shrimp farm' labels.
- Assess land use change from forest to aquaculture by comparing the distribution of the 'Shrimp farm' class across the Koh Kong coastal zone.
- Model coastal ecosystem vulnerability by using the 'Mangrove forest' class layer as a baseline for habitat mapping.
Strengths
- Provides a clear binary classification for two distinct land cover types.
- Focuses on a specific, ecologically critical region: the coastal zone of Koh Kong, Cambodia.
Limitations
- The total number of data rows, spatial resolution, and map extent are unknown.
- The classification is limited to only two classes, omitting other potential land cover types.
- The data collection date and update frequency are unknown, limiting temporal analysis.
