  1. Vegetation indices are taken from Alencar et al. (2020)34, Xue and Su (2017)88, Parente and Ferreira (2018)89 and Hill et al.90. The study area is situated within a single scene for Sentinel-1, mosaic images (2 scenes) were produced for Sentinel-2 (S2) and Landsat-8 (L8) derived features. Bands and vegetation indices, available or derived from both the S2 and L8 products are indicated (S2/L8 Equivalent). Annual (Ann, 01/10/18 to 30/09/19), wet season (Wet, 01/10/2018–31/03/2019) and dry season (Dry, 01/04/2019–30/09/2019) images were produced for some feature layers. Annual variance (Avar), wet and dry season texture images (TW, TD) were also produced. *Pixel size 10 × 10 m (S1). See Fig. S2 to S5.
