• Patterns of tree species composition across tropical African forests (2014, methodology): “Satellite imagery has also been used to define land cover and/or vegetation types traditionally based on structural differences (Mayaux et al., 2004; Verhegghen et al., 2012).”
• Exploiting synergies of global land cover products for carbon cycle modeling (2006, methodology): “Because of a lack of extensive training data, unsupervised clustering in conjunction with various ancillary data was widely used for classification purposes (see e.g. Bartalev et al., 2003; Eva et al., 2004; Mayaux et al., 2004).”
• Simulated glacial and interglacial vegetation across Africa: implications for species phylogenies and trans‐African migration of plants and animals (2007, methodology): “…indicate the presence of closed forest in an isolated part of southern Ethiopia, and in Botswana, Uganda and Tanzania; however, satellite data (Mayaux et al., 2004) show that these r 2008 The Authors Journal compilation r 2008 Blackwell Publishing Ltd, Global Change Biology, 14, 827–840 areas…”
• Southern Africa Validation of the MODIS, L3JRC, and GlobCarbon Burned-Area Products (2009, methodology): “Postprocessing using land cover information from the GLC2000 vegetation map [35] is applied to reduce commission errors [66].”
• Managing the Miombo Woodlands of Southern Africa: Policies, Incentives and Options for the Rural Poor (2010, unknown): “Similar dry forest formations stretch across northern Africa, south of the Sahelian zone (Mayaux et al. 2004).”
• Pan-tropical monitoring of deforestation (2007, background): “This new product will update and complement the other existing comparable global or continental products (e.g. Eva et al 2004, Mayaux et al 2004, Stibig et al 2007).”
• Do changes in climate patterns in wintering areas affect the timing of the spring arrival of trans‐Saharan migrant birds? (2005, background): “To do this, we first classified all stations south of Sahara into five different regions according to broad climatic patterns prevailing in Africa (IG-RAS, 1998; Mayaux et al., 2004; Fig.”
