Land cover change maps for land cover classes native vegetation, alien vegetation, and non-vegetated features for 1990 and 2020, respectively.

This dataset was used to produce land cover change maps for Figure 3.4 as part of a master's thesis titled- Repeatable methods for classification of alien and native vegetation in the Montane grasslands.

Three data entries are included: (1) r script- for coding and visualisation. (2) GeoTIFF with three generalised land cover types for the year 1990 (3) GeoTIFF with three generalised land cover types for the year 2020.

This dataset displays three generalised land cover changes (i.e. Non-Vegetated Features, Alien vegetation, and Native vegetation) between 1990 and 2020, using a harmonised Landsat time series.

Date of data collection: February 2020

Location of data collection: Blyde River Canyon Conservancy and its surrounds, in Mpumalanga/Limpopo Provinces, South Africa.
