Abstract

Machine learning models used in the production of the global maps of annual grassland class and extent for 2000—2022 within the scope of the Global Pasture Wath initiative.

The models were trained in scikit-learn using 2.3M of samples, spacetime overlaid with 103 features (GLAD Landsat ARD-2 bi-montly composites, climatic, landform and proximity covariates -- full list in gpw_grassland_rf_input.raster.layers_v1.csv):

Binary Random Forest classifier of cultivated grassland vs other land cover

Binary Random Forest classifier of natural/semi-natural grassland vs other land cover

For each model, Recursive Feature Elimination, Successive Halving hyperparameter tuning and five-fold spatial blocking cross-validation were conducted. The fitted models were compiled to a native C binary using TL2cgen, reducing the prediction time by factor 3.

The predictions were computed using Scikit-Map. and computational notebook describing explaining all modeling steps is available in Github.
