  1. P1 to P15: product 1 to 15. C1 to C29: class 1 to class 29. For each LULC class, we used a different number of products, and in the last column we present the total number of used products per class. For each product, one or multiple criteria were established to create a global probability map (pixel values 0 or 1) for a given LULC class. The numbers in each column (i.e., from 0 to 220) correspond to the pixel values from each product band. NU: Not Used, NA: Not Available, TC: Tree Cover, G: Tree Gain, L: Tree Loss, D: Datamask, TH: Tree Hight, TCC: Tree Canopy Cover, TCF: Tree-Cover Fraction, and SCF: Shrub-Cover Fraction. ∩ :“AND”, ∪ :“OR”, + :“ADD”. In Supplementary File 2, we explain the signification of each on of these criteria in details. (In class C19, the product P8 was used at two different steps of the consensus with a distinct rule in each one: CritP8a and CritP8b. We explain their utilisation at each step of C19 consensus in its corresponding row within Table 5).
