An integrated hierarchical classification and machine learning approach for mapping land use and land cover in complex social-ecological systems

Mapping land use and land cover (LULC) using remote sensing is fundamental to environmental monitoring, spatial planning and characterising drivers of change in landscapes. We develop a new, general and versatile approach for mapping LULC in landscapes with relatively gradual transition between LULC...
