Landscape matrix map at 2.25 km2 scale of a 84 km2 part of the Vavatenina District, Analanjirofo Region, Madagascar, 2019: Carte de la matrice paysagère à l'échelle de 2,25 km2 d'une zone de 84 km2 du District de Vavatenina, Analanjirofo Region, Madagascar, 2019

Abstract

This map gives the spatial distribution of the major land use in a cell of 1500m x 1500m=2.25 km2, also called the landscape matrix, over an area of study of landscape dynamics in Madagascar. It consists of an area of 84 square kilometers located at the West of Vavatenina town, in the Analanjirofo Region, on the North-East coast of Madagascar. This map is based on the very high spatial resolution land use / land cover map of the area produced for 2019 (doi:10.18167/DVN1/KDNOV4), processing a majority analysis inside sliding windows of 1500m in dimension. 7 types of land-uses were here identified as landscape matrix: diversified agroforests, introduced timber plantations, low-diversified and diversified woody fallow, bramble-dominated and diversified shrubby fallows, and annual crops or other short vegetation.
