abstract = "Land cover mapping, especially with regards to forest cover,
resulting from different methodologies will likelydisagree in
forest cover proportions. This study evaluates and compares
consolidated thematic maps, in vectorand raster formats, derived
from national and international research efforts at larger
regional or global extents.The municipalities of Blumenau (BL),
Rio do Oeste and Presidente Get{\'u}lio (RO/PG), in the state of
SantaCatarina (Brazil), were selected as representative of both a
high percent and a low percent forest cover within thesubtropical
evergreen rainforest. In this characterization of the forest cover
response at local scales when usinggeneralized products, the
raster products provided the highest scores: e.g., 97% in BL and
83% in RO/PG forrasters versus 70% and 46% for vectors
respectively. The minimum scores attained were respectively 65%
and34% (rasters) versus 52% and 18% (vectors). All in all, on the
basis of fotointerpretation and field workestimates of >50% of
forest surface in BL and <30% of forest in RO/PG, too divergent
over/under-rated scoresare found. As expected, overlap of maps
resulted in reduced coincident forest surface: agreement of less
than50% (e.g., 35% for BL), decreased considerably to a 5% in
RO/PG. Nonetheless, vector-vector and raster-rastercomparisons
work better (e.g., agreement in RO/PG vector 10.4% and 13.5%
raster). Although the diversity ofmethods and forest definitions
lie beneath the discrepancies found, the need of homogeneous
accurate workflowsand products in forest cover estimation and
monitoring at regional and local scale is proved.",
