An annual land cover dataset for the Baltic Sea Region with crop types and peat bogs at 30 m from 2000 to 2022.

ABSTRACT: We present detailed annual land cover maps for the Baltic Sea region, spanning more than two decades (2000-2022). The maps provide information on eighteen land cover (LC) classes, including eight general LC types, eight major crop types and grassland, and two peat bog-related classes. Our maps represent the first homogenized annual dataset for the region and address gaps in current land use and land cover products, such as a lack of detail on crop sequences and peat bog exploitation. To create the maps, we used annual multi-temporal remote sensing data combined with a data encoding structure and deep learning classification. We obtained the training data from publicly available open datasets. The maps were validated using independent field survey data from the Land Use/Cover Area Frame Sur
