Description
MapBiomas Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) dataset for Bolivia is produced annually by the MapBiomas Project using Landsat satellite imagery and machine learning classification techniques. The dataset provides consistent annual land cover maps at 30-meter resolution covering the period from 1985 to 2024.
Bolivia's territory spans several major biomes, including the Amazon rainforest, Cerrado, Chaco, Pantanal, and the Andean highlands (Altiplano). This diversity is reflected in the classification legend, which includes classes specific to Andean ecosystems such as Andean grassland and shrubland and Flooded Andean grassland and shrubland.
Each image in the collection contains one band named "classification", with integer values representing categorical land cover classes for that year. The classification is based on Landsat 5 (TM), Landsat 7 (ETM+), Landsat 8 and 9 (OLI/TIRS) surface reflectance data, preprocessed to generate annual cloud-free composites. The classification process uses automated decision trees trained with reference samples and validated by regional experts.
For more information, classification legend, methodology, and accuracy assessments, visit the MapBiomas website.
