In addition, further training polygons were digitized based on high-resolution Google Maps and Bing Maps data. This dataset is a filtered version of the initial classification result. The classified mangrove classes are ‘Intact to slightly degraded mangroves’, ‘Degraded mangroves’, ‘Heavily degraded mangroves’ and ‘Nipa monoculture’. suggested citiation: Stephani, A.; Oswald, P.; Koellner, T.; Wegmann, M., 2016.
