 The Planet imagery is also digitally streamed on-demand, with permission, from Norway's International Climate & Forests Initiative (NICFI) with Planet Labs (https://www.planet.com/nicfi/).

 The historical Landsat imagery is also presented as 3-band, natural colour mosaics, with each mosaic representing a seamless coverage across the full extent of each project area.  The content within each Landsat-generated backdrop imagery has been constructed from all available archive imagery, captured in the target year. As far as possible, the final backdrop mosaics have been constructed as cloud-free coverages, but in some of the older years, especially 1990, the lack of archive content has unfortunately, but unavoidably, resulted in some cloud-obscured areas remaining in the backdrop content; simply because there is insufficient imagery available to create cloud-free content. 
 
-The resolution of each image backdrop is based on the resolution of the source Landsat imagery, with 1990, and 1995 is limited to 30m formats, whereas 2000 – 2023 inclusive are presented at 15m resolution by pan-merging spectral content with panchromatic band content.

 The Landsat imagery for 2015 allows QGIS tool users to compare the level of landscape detail available from coarse resolution Landsat with comparable 2015 date 5m Planet imagery, and better understand the content in the exclusion masks, which have been modelled from Landsat sourced data. This is important for tool-user orientation, since the recent and current NICFI-Planet and Google base map image resolutions (5m and 50cm respectively), far exceed the resolution (30m) and detail used to model and construct the exclusion map coverages.

-The 2019 base reference LC data has been generated from multi-date 20m resolution Sentinel-2 imagery, representing both the 2019 calendar year (i.e. 01-2019 to 12-2019) and the 2019 growth years (i.e. 07-2018 to 06-2019 and 07-2019 to 06-2020), in conjunction with the GLAD/GEDI 2019 global tree canopy height data. The use of both a target calendar year and overlapping growth years helps minimise any seasonal anomalies resulting from drought or excessively wet periods. The Sentinel-2 LC modelling procedure is the GeoTerraImage in-house capability that leverages cloud archive and cloud computing capabilities to enable the auto-generation of standardised land-cover characteristics, that are based on all available and suitable Sentinel image acquisition dates within the target window.

-Both the 2019 base reference LC and the time-series LC datasets describe landscape characteristics with the same standardised legend. The legend contains a range of structural/physiognomic defined vegetation cover characteristics (i.e. forest, thicket / low forest, dense woodland, open woodland, grassland, low shrub), as well as water and bare ground surfaces. The LC classes do not attempt to describe any Land-Use (LU) characteristics in the landscape, as this is added at a later processing step, therefore grass-type crops such as maize would be described as “grassland” and tree crops, such as orchards, as “thicket” if the woody cover density was appropriate. LU content is added later.
