Differential analysis of landscape patterns of land cover products in tropical marine climate zones – A case study in Malaysia

Abstract Land cover in tropical marine climate zones is important for global change. The existing analysis of land product consistency mainly focuses on a continental or national scale and rarely takes different geographical (such as zones) examples to carry out micro-interpretation from the perspective ecology grid scale. In fact, some types under have poor accuracy due standard cognition complexity spatial pattern ground objects. addition, its change Marine will affect greenhouse effect, energy balance, water transport, so on, thus affecting regional even Therefore, this article presents an evaluation based GLOBCOVER, CCI LC, MCD12Q1 data using Malaysia case study, through area composition similarity, field sample point validation, landscape indices. results showed that (1) correlation coefficient between GLOBCOVER LC highest at 0.998. (2) had OA kappa 59.01% 0.4957, while lowest 49.24% 0.3614, respectively. (3) index high GLOBCOVE data, artificial surfaces products, grassland/shrubland products. microscopic patterns show three are generally more consistent East than West Malaysia. low grassland, bareland, shrubland key reason wide variation
