Dataset: Geographical distribution and reed cover of Hungarian fishponds

The data is organized in the following folders:

Folder:

- “Fishpond_points_HU”: contains the MS Excel file “FP_HU.xlsx” with the coordinates (latitude and longitude) as well as the shapefile “FP_HU.shp” for the fishpond farm locations in Hungary.

- “Fishpond_poly_HU”: contains the polygon shapefile for the boundaries of the fishponds

- “Reed_Cover_FP_HU”: contains GeoTIFF images for the reed cover present inside the fishponds. The reed cover was mapped by applying the NDVI thresholding method on Sentinel 2 imagery for all seven NUTS2 regions of Hungary from the year 2017 – 2021. The year-wise classified reed cover images can be found in the sub-folders namely: “CH” – Central Hungary, “NH” – Northern Hungary, “CTD” – Central Transdanubia, “STD” - Southern Transdanubia, “WTD”- Western Transdanubia, “SGP” – Southern Great Plain and “NGP” – Northern Great Plain.

In order to replicate the study, the Google Earth Engine (GEE) script is also provided in this database.
