a dataset of mangrove forests distribution in the Guangxi Beibu Gulf of China from 2000 to 2023

By combining simple noniterative superpixel segmentation and the object-oriented random forest method, an SNIC-RF algorithm for mangrove remote sensing extraction was developed on the GEE cloud platform, and annual mangrove distribution maps of the GBG from 2000 to 2023 were generated.
