Legend Code

Land Cover and Use

The files below contain the references to the codes of the classes of the legend that appear in the maps and raster files of each MapBiomas collections:

 The RGB color palette of each class is available for use in QGIS.

The Legend code and color palette in CSV format for each class to ease its use in programs like R.

Transition Maps

The transition maps have codes calculated by joining the first and second year codes, according to the formula below:

  (year1 x 100) + year2

  This means:

  •   303 = forest that remained forest
  •   315 = forest that has been converted to pasture
  •   1515 = pasture that remained pasture
  •   1524 = pasture that has been converted to urban infrastructure

Deforestation and Secondary Vegetation

Permite baixar os mapas e estatísticas de desmatamento e vegetação secundária. O valor de cada  pixel é calculado conforme descrição da página do método de desmatamento e vegetação secundária:

  1.         Anthropic
  2.        Vegetação Primária
  3.        Secondary Vegetation
  4.        Supressão de Vegetação Primária
  5.        Recuperação para Vegetação Secundária
  6.        Supressão de Vegetação Secundária
  7.        Ruído

Mining

the identification of codes for the legend can be seen in the sheet "legend" in the Mining statistics table.

Fire

The explanation of the pixel value meaning in the Legend Code.

Pasture Vigor

  1. Pasture Vigour – Low
  2. Pasture Vigour – Medium
  3. Pasture Vigour – High

Agriculture

It allows to download maps and statistics of deforestation and regeneration. The value of each pixel is calculated using the following formula:

Classe de Irrigação * 100 + (“usage class id”)

  1. Pivot Irrigation 
  2. Irrigated rice
  3. Other irrigation system
