Figure 1 MacDougall et al (2026): Grassland sites of this study, in relation to the WC land cover map. Most sites (indicated by the black dots) contain 11 reference grids (with some exceptions, see Methods) with each grid composed of 100 10 m × 10 m pixels (Supplementary Fig. 2). We classified each pixel (387,600 pixels in total) into 1 of 7 grassland types and 9 non-grassland land use classes (for example, settlement, crops, forest; see Supplementary Table 3). We chose WC for this map, instead of LC or DW, because it was the most accurate land cover product for grasslands (see Supplementary Table 2). Photo credit: ESA WC project 2021 (7).
