             abstract = "The Cerrado biome in Brazil covers approximately 24% of the 
                         country. It is one of the richest and most diverse savannas in the 
                         world, with 23 vegetation types (physiognomies) consisting mostly 
                         of tropical savannas, grasslands, forests and dry forests. It is 
                         considered as one of the global hotspots of biodiversity because 
                         of the high level of endemism and rapid loss of its original 
                         habitat. This work aims to analyze the potential of Landsat 
                         Analysis Ready Data (ARD) in combination with different 
                         environmental data to classify the vegetation in the Cerrado in 
                         two different hierarchical levels. Here we present results of a 
                         pixel-based modelling exercise, in which field data were combined 
                         with a set of input variables using a Random Forest classification 
                         approach. On the first hierarchical level, with the three classes 
                         savanna, grasslands and forest, our model results reached 
                         f1-scores of 0.86, 0.87 and 0.85 leading to an overall accuracy of 
                         0.86. In the second hierarchical level we differentiated a total 
                         of 12 vegetation physiognomies with an overall accuracy of 0.77.",
