He Y, Pflugmacher D, Martius C. Forest cover mapping in post-Soviet Central Asia using multi-resolution remote sensing imagery[J]. Scientific Reports, 2017, 7.

This paper produced consistent Central Asia forest cover (CAFC) maps based on a cost-efficient approach using multi-resolution satellite imagery from Landsat and MODIS during 2009–2011. The spectral-temporal metrics derived from 2009–2011 Landsat imagery (overall accuracy of 0.83) was used to predict sub-pixel forest cover on the MODIS scale for 2010.

Generally, I think this paper utilized technology of data fusion and information included in temporal series.

Why this paper can be published in Science? I think it is because this topic is very interesting.
