Queensland Seasonal Crop Mapping from 1990 Onwards

Queensland's Strategic Cropping Land is mapped for seasonal crop groups from 1990 to the present. The dataset, provided by the Queensland Department of Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation, includes predicted crop class and prediction probability attributes. It was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze long-term land use change based on seasonal crop group classifications.
• Model agricultural productivity and crop distribution based on predicted crop class.
• Assess prediction confidence for land cover mapping based on the probability attribute.

Strengths

• Provides a long-term time series starting in 1990.
• Includes a confidence metric (P_CLASS) for each prediction.
• Published 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.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to Queensland's Strategic Cropping Land.
