- Supplemental Information
- Reliable for estimates of general land cover patterns at a continental scale. An important limitation is that most classes have two or more disparate land cover classes represented within their spatial distribution. For example, a single class is dryland, cropland and pasture. The wetland land cover category does not include seasonal wetland areas. The urban category is actually the DCW urban areas represented as points. Dataset needs to be validated.
