Description
High-resolution distribution maps of mountain pine (Pinus mugo Turra) in Southern Germany. Derived from Sentinel-2 time series with annual maps from 2017-2025 at 10m resolution in EPSG:25832 (ETRS89 / UTM Zone 32N). Includes a permanent presence/absence mask aggregated across the full time series.
Methodology:
Based on a machine learning Random Forest classifier using various spectral, textural, vegetation indices, and topographic features. Training data is based on manual interpretation of Bavarian Digital Orthophotos (DOP20) from 2024, provided by the Bavarian Agency for Digitisation, High-Speed Internet and Surveying (LDBV). The complete workflow has been reported in the paper.
Applications:
This dataset could be used for further analysis on Mountain pines and their ecosystem functions and physiological traits, along with continued monitoring for upslope expansion.
