MapBiomas Argentina's annual map collections are a historical series covering the entire Argentine territory. MapBiomas Argentina Collection 2 contains annual data for the period 1985-2024. Each year, the data is reprocessed, extending both the period and the number of mapped classes.
The maps can be consulted in four ways:
1. Online navigation and data download using the platform:
Es posible descargar los datos sobre la cobertura y el uso del suelo para diferentes recortes territoriales. Consulte la sección «Crear análisis» para crear análisis personalizados y descargar datos. Consulte las instrucciones sobre cómo descargar los mapas y estadísticas a través de la plataforma
2. Download by state, biome, municipality, or other geometry using the Toolkits in Google Earth Engine (GEE):
