Colombia Woody Vegetation Structure and Change (WVSC), 2010-2024

The national woody vegetation structure and change (WVSC) data for Colombia is an extension of the Latin America continental WVSC 2015-2023 dataset (Potapov et al., 2024). The national dataset was expanded in time to cover the 2010-2024 interval. The product is based on the same definitions and methodology as the continental dataset. The WVSC maps for 2016-2023 are the same as in Potapov et al. (2024), the 2015 data were updated, and the years 2010-2014 and 2024 were added to the product to allow characterization of national woody vegetation dynamics during the past 15 years. The annual dataset is available online for free, with no restrictions on access, redistribution, or use, as long as proper citation is given, following the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY 4.0).
