Provenance & quality
Based on the above criteria, four Zones of Interest (ZOIs) were identified and modified in an iterative approach involving preliminary reconnaissance work, information on access provided by partners, and initial analyses of spatial data layers.
Current land use/cover classifications were generated for each ZOI based on very high resolution imagery from SPOT 6. Field data collected by Work Package (WP) 2 and 4--which are impacts on hydrological benefits of alternative Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) approaches and impacts on carbon storage/sequestration of alternative PES approaches--were used as training data. Supervised classifications were created using Random Forest classifier.
