Table 3 Annual CUE values (mean and standard deviation) from the 2001–2023 period per biome type for the GPR and MODIS estimates. CODES according to IGBP land cover classification system34: CRO (crops), DBF (deciduous broadleaf forests), ENF (evergreen needleleaf forests), EBF (evergreen broadleaf forests), DNF (deciduous needleleaf forests), GRA (grasslands), MF (mixed forests), OSH (open shrublands), CSH (closed shrublands), SAV (savannas), WET (permanent wetlands), WSA (woody savannas).
