Land Cover Product Data Set (2001-2020) of 500m MCD12Q1_V06 in the Upper Reaches of the Yangtze River, China


MCD12Q1 V6 provides land cover types every year (2001-2020), which come from six different classification schemes. Generally, the first data set, Land cover type1 (LC_Type1) IGBP, is used as the classification system, because it has the most abundant data types, with a total of 17 land types; It includes 11 types of natural vegetation, 3 types of land development and mosaic and 3 types of non vegetation land. It is obtained by using the supervised classification of MODIS Terra and Aqua reflectance data. Then the supervised classification is subject to additional post-processing, including prior knowledge and auxiliary information, to further refine specific categories. The data space resolution is 500m.
