The database was prepared using Landsat satellite data from the year 2000. More than 1,000 Landsat scenes obtained from the USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science Center (EROS) were classified using hybrid supervised and unsupervised digital image classification techniques. This database is the first, most comprehensive mangrove assessment of the world (Giri et al., 2011). Partial funding of this research was provided by NASA.

 

The mangrove database is being used for identifying priority areas for mangrove conservation, studying the role of mangrove forests in saving lives and properties from natural disasters (e.g. tsunami), carbon accounting, and biodiversity conservation. The USGS EROS has been using the data to study the impact of sea level rise on mangrove ecosystems. The database serves as a baseline for mangrove monitoring.

General Documentation

该数据库是利用2000年的Landsat卫星数据编制的。使用混合监督和非监督数字图像分类技术对从美国地质调查局地球资源观测和科学中心获得的1000多个Landsat场景进行了分类。这个数据库是世界上第一个最全面的红树林评估（Giri等人，2011）。这项研究的部分资金是由美国国家航空航天局提供的。

该红树林数据库正被用于确定红树林保护的优先区域，研究红树林在自然灾害（如海啸）中拯救生命和财产的作用，碳核算和生物多样性保护。美国地质调查局EROS一直在使用这些数据研究海平面上升对红树林生态系统的影响。该数据库可作为红树林监测的基线。
