Mangrove Extent Maps from Random Forest Classification in Google Earth Engine

Output maps of mangrove extent produced using a random forest classification algorithm within the Google Earth Engine platform. The dataset supports a manuscript under revision for the Remote Sensing (MDPI) journal. The repository includes multiple file formats such as TIF, SHP, and CSV, totaling 67.0 MB.

Use Cases

• Assessing strategies for spatial autocorrelation in regional mapping based on the manuscript's focus.
• Training or validating land cover classification models based on the provided mangrove extent maps.
• Conducting comparative analysis of mangrove mapping methodologies based on the described random forest approach.

Strengths

• Dataset is associated with a manuscript under peer review for a scientific journal.
• Includes multiple geospatial data formats (TIF, SHP) suitable for GIS analysis.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The full methodology details are pending publication acceptance.
