| short_description | The dataset contains global maps of tidal flat ecosystems produced via a supervised classification of 707,528 Landsat Archive images. The maps were created to identify the non-vegetated areas of Earth's coastline that undergo regular tidal inundation. In some areas, these occur as tidal flats up to 24- km wide, such as the tidal mudflats of western Europe and East Asia. Our analysis included 56 predictor layers, many of which were Landsat composite metrics designed to identify individual pixels that undergo frequent wetting and drying. |
