DEA Mangroves (Landsat) Version 4.0.0
2c430001-f8e2-4fa7-b805-5a70dc56b1d4
Digital Earth Australia (DEA) Mangroves classifies mangrove canopy cover density across Australia’s coastal ecosystems using 35+ years of Landsat data (1987–present) at 30-meter resolution.
Each annual map contains one layer (band) canopy_cover_class, with values defined as follows:
<strong>Not observed</strong> — 0: insufficient observations per year to determine if mangroves exist
<strong>Woodland 20-50% </strong>— 1: mangroves present with Planimetric Canopy Cover Percentage (PCC%) between 20% and 50%
<strong>Open forest 50-80% </strong>— 2: mangroves present with PCC% between 50% and 80%
<strong>Closed forest 80-100% </strong> — 3: mangroves present with PCC% above 80%
<strong>No data </strong> — 255: no mangroves present, either PCC% below 20% or outside mangrove habitat
