DOI: 10.1016/j.rse.2021.112686
Abstract: Annual global land cover maps (GLC) are being provided by several operational monitoring efforts. However, map validation is lagging, in the sense that the annual land cover maps are often not validated. Concurrently, users such… read more here.

Biases and limitations of Global Forest Change and author-generated land cover maps in detecting deforestation in the Amazon
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "PLoS ONE"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0268970
Abstract: Studying land use change in protected areas (PAs) located in tropical forests is a major conservation priority due to high conservation value (e.g., species richness and carbon storage) here, coupled with generally high deforestation rates.… read more here.
