Classified maps of forest types in Eastern Siberia based on field surveys and Sentinel-2 imagery

This dataset provides subsets of mapped forest types at a spatial resolution of 10 m, focusing on boreal forests located in Eastern Siberia. The maps are subsets of 5 regions: Khamra, Western Yakutia, Central Yakutia, Oymyakon, and Chukotka. We used vegetation plot data from field surveys in 2018 and 2021 in Eastern Siberia, and photo-interpretation as training and validation datasets. Sentinel-2 late-summer reflectance was used for the supervised classification using a random forest algorithm.
