The no change planted forests, natural forests, and open lands data in 2000-2010

The pixels that did not experience changes in land cover types between 2000 and 2010 were then extracted by comparing the results from the two years, to understand the spatiotemporal patterns of the potential afforestation. This hypothetical forest change is not really happening, but is based on changes in the 5 × 5 km sample grid cells of types including NF, CR, GR, and PF that have not changed for 2000-2010. The distributions of PF, NF, and open land (CR and GR) areas in 2000 and 2010 in Guangdong Province were identified from two 30m land cover datasets: SGB-NDVI-based forest and non-forest (FNF) time series maps (Shen et al., 2019a) and GlobeLand30 data product (Chen et al., 2015). <br>
