Classification of active agriculture,forest and abandoned agriculture with 250-meter MODIS NDVI data for 2004–2006, and with TIMESAT derived phenology metrics per year for 2003-2009.
Details are in above referenced publication, also on accuracy assessment.

Thematic classes
1- Active agriculture (i.e., cropland and pastures)
2- Forest (i.e., coniferous, mixed and deciduous forest)
3- Abandoned agriculture (abandoned cropland and abandoned pastures)
4- Other (i.e., water, urban areas, rocks,and wetlands)
