Refined Cropland Data Layer (R-CDL)

A decision tree algorithm was employed to refine Cropland Data Layer (CDL) using spatial and temporal information. The Refined Cropland Data Layer (R-CDL) could be used as an alternative to researchers as it provides more accurate cropland information. Four annual RCDL maps were produced for the contiguous United States from the year 2017 to 2020.
