Crezee_2022_Central_Congo_Peat_Probability_Layers.zip

This folder contains 5 probability layers, the output of 1000 classification
runs using a random 2/3 subset of training data, that was used to produce the 
peatland extent estimates and probability map (Figure 1b) in:

Crezee et al. (2022). Nature Geoscience. Mapping peat thickness and carbon stocks of the central Congo Basin using field data.

This folder contains 5 layers:
	- Probability_2022_HardwoodDominatedPeatSwamp.tif
	- Probability_2022_PalmDominatedPeatSwamp.tif
	- Probability_2022_NonPeatFormingForest.tif
	- Probability_2022_Savanna.tif
	- Probability_2022_Water.tif

Each layer has pixel values from 0-1000, representing the number of times that class
was given as the most likely class for that pixel in 1000 Maximum Likelihood classifications
using a random 2/3 subset of the training data.

For example, a value of 995 in the Probability_2022_Water.tif file means that in 995 of the 1000
runs this pixel was mapped as 'water'. Conversely, a value of 4 in the Probability_2022_Savanna.tif
would mean that that pixel was only mapped as savanna 4 times in the 1000 runs.

As an approximation, dividing these values by 1000 gives the probability that that pixel
contains a majority of vegetation of that class.

Total peat swamp forest probability is obtained by summing the probabilities of the hardwood and 
palm-dominated peat swamp forest files.
