  • What is the spatial resolution of a closed-canopy oil palm map?
  • The maps have a spatial resolution of 10 km and represent the surface of closed-canopy oil palm, in hectares, in an area of 10 9 hectares. The values on the map were obtained by dividing the area of the oil palm within the 10 km pixel by the total area covered in the pixel.
  • Are there closed-canopy oil palm plantations?
  • We present a map of closed-canopy oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) plantations by typology (industrial versus smallholder plantations) at the global scale and with unprecedented detail (10 m resolution) for the year 2019.
