Global mapping of potential natural vegetation: an assessment of machine learning algorithms for estimating land potential

Potential natural vegetation (PNV) is the vegetation cover in equilibrium with climate, that would exist at a given location if not impacted by human activities. PNV is useful for raising public awareness about land degradation and for estimating land potential. This paper presents results of assess...
