Caracterización del uso/cobertura del suelo en Uruguay a partir de series temporales de imágenes MODIS

The research developed a land cover map for Uruguay covering 17 million hectares with an overall accuracy of 89.6%. The classification identified four main categories: perennial forage resources (63.6%), forestry and woodland (13.1%), summer crops (14.3%), and double cropping (7.4%). The findings highlight a significant decrease in perennial forage resources in recent years, primarily driven by the expansion of the agricultural frontier.

• The study classified 17 million hectares into four primary categories: Perennial Forage Resources (63.6%), Forestry and Woodland (13.1%), Summer Crops (14.3%), and Double Cropping (7.4%).
• The resulting land cover map achieved a high global accuracy of 89.6%, with the 'Summer Crops' class showing the lowest accuracy at 85.8%.
• Analysis indicates a substantial reduction in perennial forage resources in recent years, largely caused by the expansion of the agricultural frontier.
