This map represents the vegetation and other land covers of Kansas as mapped using 10m imagery from Sentinel-2 satellites. A land cover classification of 12 classes was developed using 3 dates of imagery, training data from photo-interpretation, and RandomForest classifier. This land cover was combined with various ancillary abiotic data sets in a vector format which was produced using image segmentation. The combination of land cover and abiotic information allowed us to model vegetation at higher thematic resolution than the generalized classification produced solely from reflectance data. A total of 49 types were mapped across the region.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "summary": "This layer represents a map of the current vegetation of Kansas with the addition of developed lands, lands under agricultural production, and types lacking vegetative cover.
