Extended Data Fig. 1: Spatial overview of 1,736 ground-truth datapoints across the central Congo basin study area, grouped by six landcover classes.
From: Mapping peat thickness and carbon stocks of the central Congo Basin using field data
Only the palm-dominated and hardwood-dominated peat swamp forest classes (e, f) are associated with the presence of peat. Terra firme forest (c) and non-peat forming seasonally inundated forest (d) are combined into a single non-peat forming forest class when running classification models. The RGB baselayer of Landsat ETM+ 7 (SWIR 1, NIR and Red bands) reflects different forest types (shades of green), open savannah (pink), agricultural land (yellow) and open water (blue).
