2019-2022 10-m maize and soybean maps over the United States H. Li et al. https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.28934993.v2
Short summary
We developed annual, 10 m spatial resolution maize and soybean maps over the US from 2019 to 2022. Evaluated by ground data collected over a stratified random sample, our maps achieved > 95 % overall accuracy consistently. Our analysis suggested that mixed pixels could be substantially reduced by the increased spatial resolution from 30 to 10 m. Our maps can support research subjects such as forecasting crop yield, analyzing agricultural-related greenhouse gas emissions, etc.
