Welcome to the tutorial for working with the Tropical Moist Forest (TMF) dataset. This dataset is described in the Science advances paper Long-term (1990-2019) monitoring of forest cover changes in the humid tropics. This tutorial provides examples of how to use Earth Engine to visualize data layers available in the TMF dataset and presents some typical visualizations and analyses.
The scripts with the entire code are available at the end of the tutorial.
This tutorial assumes you are familiar with concepts presented in the Earth Engine Code Editor documentation pages and have worked through the Earth Engine API tutorial.
The TMF data are provided free of charge and, without restriction of use.
They were produced under the Roadless-For pilot project (Making efficient use of EU climate finance: Using roads as an early performance indicator for REDD+ projects) and the Lot 2 (‘TroFoMo’ - Tropical moist Forest Monitoring) of the ForMonPol Administrative Arrangement (Forest Monitoring for Policies) funded by the Directorate-General for Climate Action of the European Commission (DG-CLIMA).

Once you are familiar with the Code Editor, get started on the tutorial!
The TMF dataset contains 7 data layers that present the tropical moist forest cover and changes in different ways (see further information in the data users guide):
And two metadata layers:
Four tutorials are presented in the next sections with the following objectives:
In the GEE scripts Section, we provide one script with the entire code for each tutorial, as well as the full code for visualizing and inspecting all the TMF layers (maps, metrics and metadata).
The following steps show how to display the transition map with the color codes and label for each class (see the full code in the GEE scripts Section). This version of the Transition map corresponds to the one labeled ‘Transition Map – Sub types’ (see data users guide).
The transition map is an ImageCollection (collection of images) that we can load by copying the following statements into the Code Editor:
var TransitionMap = ee.ImageCollection('projects/JRC/TMF/v1_2023/TransitionMap_Subtypes').mosaic();
Map.addLayer(TransitionMap);The first statement references the Transition Map Collection that we store in a variable. As we have several images in the collection (one for each continent), we mosaic them to display a unique image.
The second statement adds the TMF Transition Map to the Code Editor's interactive map.
Click on the Code Editor's "Run" button, and after a few seconds you should see a map with grey coloring.
To explore values of the Transition Map, we will use the Code Editor's inspector tab. First click on the inspector tab, then click on the map to select a location. The inspector tab will display information on each of the layers that are present where you clicked.
In the example above, the value of the layer named TransitionMap is 42. The value corresponds to the transition class 42 with the label “Deforestation started in 2014-2022“. (see the data users guide)
To display a specific color for each transition class in GEE we add a palette with color codes for each discrete value:
var PALETTETransitionSubtypes = [rgb(0,80,0), rgb(10,100,10), rgb(10,90,60), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(30,120,0), rgb(80,150,0), rgb(100,160,40), rgb(120,170,40), rgb(100,160,40), rgb(120,170,40), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(185,200,60), rgb(200,230,60), rgb(210,250,60), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(255,240,160), rgb(255,150,8), rgb(255,90,10), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(250,60,10), rgb(170,80,10), rgb(140,100,30), rgb(140,120,60), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(40,100,50), rgb(80,150,0), rgb(200,230,60), rgb(210,250,60), rgb(255,230,110), rgb(255,60,10), rgb(155,105,70), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,50,150), rgb(0,150,200), rgb(0,160,150), rgb(0,210,210), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(51,99,51), rgb(98,161,80), rgb(188,209,105), rgb(255,228,148), rgb(250,180,150), rgb(204,163,163), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(255,255,255), rgb(237,255,215), rgb(224,250,157), rgb(214,250,188)];And a function for converting rgb values into HEX code required for the palette:
function rgb(r,g,b){
var bin = r << 16 | g << 8 | b;
return (function(h){
return new Array(7-h.length).join("0")+h;
})(bin.toString(16).toUpperCase());
}To add the color and description of the class, we add the following visualization parameters: the min and max values and a palette with the colors for each class.
Map.addLayer(TransitionMap.updateMask(TransitionMap),{
'min':10,
'max': 94,
'palette': PALETTETransitionSubtypes
}, "JRC - Transition Map – Sub types - v1 2023", true);The full code contains the label of each class.
In the next section, you explore how to recode the transition map for producing a simplified version.
The following steps show how to recode the transition map for producing a simplified version of the transition classes (see the full code in the GEE scripts Section).
First, we store the Transition Map Collection in a variable named TransitionMap:
var TransitionMap = ee.ImageCollection('projects/JRC/TMF/v1_2023/TransitionMap_Subtypes').mosaic();The second step consists of recoding the Transition Map to have the same classes as the simplified version of the transition map labeled ‘Transition Map – Main Classes’ (see the data users guide) as follows:
value 10. Undisturbed Tropical Moist Forest (TMF)
value 20. Degraded TMF
value 30. TMF regrowth
value 41. Deforested land - Forest converted to tree plantations
value 42. Deforested Land - Forest converted to water
value 43. Deforested Land - Forest converted to other land cover
value 50. Recent deforestation or degradation (2021-2023)
value 60. Permanent or Seasonal Water
value 70. Other land cover (including afforestation)
For recoding we use the image.where() operator as follows:
var TransitionMap_Main = TransitionMap.where((TransitionMap.gte(10)).and(TransitionMap.lte(12)), 10);
TransitionMap_Main = TransitionMap_Main.where((TransitionMap.gte(21)).and(TransitionMap.lte(26)), 20);
TransitionMap_Main = TransitionMap_Main.where((TransitionMap.gte(61)).and(TransitionMap.lte(62)), 20);
TransitionMap_Main = TransitionMap_Main.where((TransitionMap.gte(31)).and(TransitionMap.lte(33)), 30);
TransitionMap_Main = TransitionMap_Main.where((TransitionMap.gte(63)).and(TransitionMap.lte(64)), 30);
TransitionMap_Main = TransitionMap_Main.where((TransitionMap.gte(81)).and(TransitionMap.lte(86)), 41);
TransitionMap_Main = TransitionMap_Main.where((TransitionMap.gte(73)).and(TransitionMap.lte(74)), 42);
TransitionMap_Main = TransitionMap_Main.where((TransitionMap.gte(41)).and(TransitionMap.lte(42)), 43);
TransitionMap_Main = TransitionMap_Main.where((TransitionMap.gte(65)).and(TransitionMap.lte(66)), 43);
TransitionMap_Main = TransitionMap_Main.where((TransitionMap.gte(51)).and(TransitionMap.lte(54)), 50);
TransitionMap_Main = TransitionMap_Main.where((TransitionMap.eq(67)), 50);
TransitionMap_Main = TransitionMap_Main.where((TransitionMap.gte(71)).and(TransitionMap.lte(72)), 60);
TransitionMap_Main = TransitionMap_Main.where((TransitionMap.gte(91)), 70);To display a specific color for each transition class in GEE we add a palette with color codes for each discrete value:
var PALETTEMainTransition = [rgb(0,80,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(100,135,35), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(210,250,60), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(255,200,148), rgb(0,200,150), rgb(255,230,100), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(250,140,10), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,70,160), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(0,0,0), rgb(255,255,255)];And a function for converting rgb values into HEX code required for the palette:
function rgb(r,g,b){
var bin = r << 16 | g << 8 | b;
return (function(h){
return new Array(7-h.length).join("0")+h;
})(bin.toString(16).toUpperCase());
}To add the color and description of the class, we add the following visualization parameters: the min and max values and the palette.
Map.addLayer(TransitionMap_Main.updateMask(TransitionMap_Main),{
'min':10,
'max': 70,
'palette': PALETTEMainTransition
}, "JRC - Transition Map – Main Classes - v1 2023", true);In the next section, you explore how to visualize and inspect the Annual Change collection.
The following steps show how to display the Annual Change collection with the color codes and label for each class (see the full code in the GEE scripts Section).
The Annual Change dataset is an ImageCollection (collection of images) that we can load by copying the following statements into the Code Editor:
var AnnualChanges = ee.ImageCollection('projects/JRC/TMF/v1_2023/AnnualChanges').mosaic();To explore values of the Annual Change collection for the 34 years (1990-2023), we use the Code Editor's inspector tab. First click on the inspector tab, then click on the map to select a location. The inspector tab will display information on each of the year where you clicked.
First, it is necessary to select the year of interest with the following code:
var AnnualChangesYear = AnnualChanges.select('Dec2010');To display a specific color for each class of the annual change dataset we add a palette with color codes and label for each discrete value:
var PALETTEAnnualChanges = [
rgb(0,90,0), // val 1. Undisturbed Tropical moist forest (TMF)
rgb(100,155,35), // val 2. Degraded TMF
rgb(255,135,15), // val 3. Deforested land
rgb(210,250,60), // val 4. Forest regrowth
rgb(0,140,190), // val 5. Permanent or seasonal Water
rgb(255,255,255), // val 6. Other land cover
];And we display the year selected with the palette:
Map.addLayer(AnnualChangesYear.updateMask(AnnualChangesYear),{
'min': 1,
'max': 6,
'palette': PALETTEAnnualChanges
}, "JRC - Annual Changes - one year – v1 2023", false);In the next section, you explore how to analyze the changes between two periods from the Annual Change collection.
The following steps show how to compute the changes between two periods from the Annual Change collection (see the full code in the GEE scripts Section).
Tutorial 3 shows the steps for selecting a specific year within the Annual Change collection.
Here we select two specific years as follows:
var AnnualChangesYear1=AnnualChanges.select('Dec2005');
var AnnualChangesYear2=AnnualChanges.select('Dec2015');From these two layers we map four classes of changes:
From Undisturbed TMF to Degraded forest
From TMF to Deforested land
From TMF to Deforested to Forest regrowth
From deforested land to Forest regrowth
We use the image.where() operator for recoding as follows:
From Undisturbed TMF to degraded TMF:
var ChangesBetweenTwoPeriods = ((AnnualChangesYear1.eq(1)).and(AnnualChangesYear2.eq(2)));From Undisturbed/Degraded TMF to deforested land (including water):
ChangesBetweenTwoPeriods = ChangesBetweenTwoPeriods.where((AnnualChangesYear1.eq(1)).and(AnnualChangesYear2.eq(3)), 2);
ChangesBetweenTwoPeriods = ChangesBetweenTwoPeriods.where((AnnualChangesYear1.eq(2)).and(AnnualChangesYear2.eq(3)), 2);
ChangesBetweenTwoPeriods = ChangesBetweenTwoPeriods.where((AnnualChangesYear1.eq(1)).and(AnnualChangesYear2.eq(5)), 2);
ChangesBetweenTwoPeriods = ChangesBetweenTwoPeriods.where((AnnualChangesYear1.eq(2)).and(AnnualChangesYear2.eq(5)), 2);From Forest (Undisturbed/Degraded TMF) to deforested land to Forest Regrowth:
ChangesBetweenTwoPeriods = ChangesBetweenTwoPeriods.where((AnnualChangesYear1.eq(1)).and(AnnualChangesYear2.eq(4)), 3);
ChangesBetweenTwoPeriods = ChangesBetweenTwoPeriods.where((AnnualChangesYear1.eq(2)).and(AnnualChangesYear2.eq(4)), 3);From Deforested land to Forest Regrowth:
ChangesBetweenTwoPeriods = ChangesBetweenTwoPeriods.where((AnnualChangesYear1.eq(3)).and(AnnualChangesYear2.eq(4)), 4);To display a specific color for each class of the changes we add a palette with color codes and label for each discrete value:
var PALETTECHANGES = [
rgb(100,135,35), // val 1. From Undisturbed TMF to Degraded forest
rgb(255,170,35), // val 2. From TMF to Deforested land
rgb(190,210,60), // val 3. From TMF to Deforested to Forest regrowth
rgb(210,250,60), // val 4. From deforested land to Forest regrowth
];And we display the year selected with the palette:
Map.addLayer(ChangesBetweenTwoPeriods.updateMask(ChangesBetweenTwoPeriods),{
'min': 1,
'max': 4,
'palette': PALETTECHANGES
}, "JRC - Changes Between Two Periods – v1 2023", true);The following steps show how to download any TMF layer over your region of interest ‘ROI’, which can be a shapefile of your study area (imported as a feature.Collection in your Google Earth Engine asset) or in this case the extent of Ivory Coast taken from the USDOS database.
var worldcountries = ee.FeatureCollection('USDOS/LSIB_SIMPLE/2017');
//https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_FIPS_country_codes#C
var list = ee.List(['IV']); //Ivory Coast
var ROI = worldcountries.filter(ee.Filter.inList('country_co',list));
//TMF layer of interest, for instance the "DegradationYear"
var DegradationYear = ee.ImageCollection('projects/JRC/TMF/v1_2020/DegradationYear').mosaic().clip(ROI);
// Export to google drive as GeoTIFF raster
Export.image.toDrive({
image: DegradationYear,
description: 'JRC_TMF_DegradationYear_ROI',
scale: 30,
region: ROI.geometry(),
crs: 'EPSG:4326',
maxPixels:1e13,
fileFormat: 'GeoTIFF',
formatOptions: {
cloudOptimized: true
}
});The following steps show how to compute and extract the different statistics of forest cover change over your region of interest for a given period as CSV files (see the full code in the GEE scripts Section).
The script requires you to define i. the feature collection (either imported shapefile into GEE or manually drawn polygons) representing your region of interest; ii. The period defined by the start year and end year variables; iii. The name of your google drive folder where the results will be exported. Note that we have included a function to run if the study area is very large in order to speed up the statistics extraction
//*** 1) Load your study area as a feature collection. For example: var //StudyArea=ee.FeatureCollection('users/...')
var StudyArea=Sumatra;
var AOIname = 'StudyArea'; //to be replaced by the explicit name of the study area
Map.addLayer(StudyArea);
Map.centerObject(StudyArea, 8);
//*** 1bis) If your study area is large (entire regions/state), uncomment the following two lines
//*** in order to speed up the statistics extraction and to avoid error messages from GEE
// var Grid=ee.FeatureCollection('projects/JRC/TMF/ctry_grid_ecozone');
// var StudyArea = Grid.map(function(f) {return f.intersection(StudyArea.geometry(), 1)});
//*** 2) Indicate the timeframe you are interested in for extracting statistics
var StartYear = 1991;
var Endyear = 2020;
//*** 3) Indicate the name of the Google drive folder where the results will be exported
var GoogleDrivefolder = 'DownloadFromGEE'; //to be changedAfter loading the TMF layers on degradation year, deforestation year, duration, intensity, transition and annual change, it is then time to define some specific transition classes:
//* Deforestation
var OldDeforestation=( (Transition.gte(41)).and(Transition.lte(42)) ).or( (Transition.gte(65)).and(Transition.lte(66)) );
var RecentDeforestation= ( (Transition.gte(51)).and(Transition.lte(53))).or( (Transition.eq(67)).and(DeforestationYear.lt(2021)) ).or( (Transition.eq(67)).and(DeforestationYear.gte(2021)).and(Intensity.gte(10)) );
var DeforestationToWater=(Transition.gte(73)).and(Transition.lte(74));
var DeforestationToPlantations=(Transition.gte(82)).and(Transition.lte(86));//
//* Forest degradation
var ShortDurationDegradation= ( (Transition.gte(21)).and(Transition.lte(22)) ).or( (Transition.gte(61)).and(Transition.lte(62)).and(Duration.lte(365)) ).or((Transition.eq(54)).or( (Transition.eq(67)).and(DegradationYear.gte(2021)).and(Intensity.lt(10)) ));
var LongDurationDegradation= ( (Transition.gte(23)).and(Transition.lte(26)) ).or( (Transition.gte(61)).and(Transition.lte(62)).and(Duration.gt(365)) );
//* Vegetation regrowth
var Regrowth=( (Transition.gte(31)).and(Transition.lte(33)) ).or( (Transition.gte(63)).and(Transition.lte(64)) );Finally, the last part of the script consists in looping through the different years of the period of interest and computing simplified or detailed statistics of forest cover change (to be defined regarding your application).

var j=i-1;
