  1. A Land Cover Map of Eurasia’s Boreal EcosystemsS. BARTALEV, A. S. BELWARDInstitute for Environment and Sustainability, EC Joint Research Centre, Italy D. ERCHOVCenter of Forest Ecology and Productivity, Russia Global Land Cover 2000

  2. SPOT 4 - VEGETATION Data Type of data product Standard S10 products including: • Spectral channels • NDVI • Angular information • Status map Geographic window :420N - 750N and 50E -1800E Time window :3d decade of March 1999 – 1st decade of November 1999 (23 of S10 products)

  3. Initial labelling of clusters Merging of semantic clusters into thematic classes Decomposing of ambiguous semantic clusters Derived Auxiliary Products SPOT4-VGT S10 data Generated masks Land Cover Mapping Method STEP 1: Image pre-processing and generation of advanced data products STEP2: Image classification Seasonal mosaics Spectral-temporal clusters map ISODATA clustering of seasonal mosaics Wave-Likeness Index Semantic clusters map Contaminated pixels and snow cover detection Generation of the advanced data products Anisotropy Index Wetness Index Mono-semantic clusters map Snow Cover GIS Database (topographic and thematic maps, DEM, forest inventory statistics and etc) Land Cover Map

  4. Normalised Difference Snow Index From Hall et al., 1998: "Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document (ATBD) for the MODIS Snow-, Lake Ice- and Sea Ice-Mapping Algorithms. Version 4.0"

  5. Detection of the contaminated pixels Step 1: Detection of the pixels utterly contaminated by snow and clouds with pre-specified thresholds pixel with co-ordinates at fixed decade of observation t* set of pixels with presence of snow or/and ice set of pixels with presence of clouds set of pixels without presence of snow/ice or clouds

  6. Detection of the contaminated pixels Steps 2J: Detection of the defective detectors and “slightly” contaminated by snow/clouds pixels with adaptive thresholds derived from time series of data

  10. Surface Anisotropy Relative Linear Indexes (SARLI) RED-NIR: Slope - Slope - Interception NIR-MIR: Slope - Slope - Interception SARLI is derived based on the linearised RPV Bi-directional Reflectance Distribution Function model to characterise a surface anisotropy properties

  12. Available Country-wide Forest Inventory Data to compare with GLC2000 Map Forest inventory database contains for each forest management unit the data on forest area, tree species composition, volume, area of non-forested land categories and some other information

  13. Forest Management Units selected for comparison with GLC 2000 map 679 forest management units

  17. Ongoing development to improve the Northern Eurasia’s GLC2000 Product • splitting some of the forest classes according to trees cover density • reducing of ambiguity between “cropland” and “grassland” classes • introducing to the map legend the mosaic classes such as “cropland/natural vegetation” and “forest/other vegetation” • comparison (pre-validation checking) with available forest inventory and other available land cover data to expose main divergences
