From the Statistical Operation of land cover in the Colombian Amazon, it is important to take into account the following aspects:
1. In this work scale, the minimum mappable unit is 25 hectares, except for the units corresponding to artificialized territories whose minimum area is 5 hectares.
2. Because the coverage map update process is based on the reinterpretation of a baseline, changes of less than 3 hectares will not be reflected in the updated map.
3. The Statistical Operation is framed within the limit defined by the Amazon Institute of Scientific Research SINCHI which may differ from other delimitations made in the region.
4. The scale of work provides knowledge of natural resources and forms of occupation of the territory at the regional level. However, if greater technical specificity is required, more detailed information must be used (local studies).
5. The percentage of Non-Response is imputed from the coverage map of the immediately previous period, therefore, for these areas it is not certain whether there was a change or not in the land cover for that period.
6. The imputed percentage of the coverage map for the region is very low and therefore its impact on the statistics is minimal. However, for other more detailed Reference Spatial Units, such as municipalities, the percentage of Non-Response may have a greater impact on statistical analyses.
7. The SINCHI Institute is the only entity that generates land cover information for the entire region at a scale of 1:100,000 applying the CORINE Land Cover Methodology adapted for Colombia. Different types of analysis are generated from other entities, not necessarily with the same methodology and legend at different scales and other inputs. Therefore, to date, there is no reference with which to compare the data of the Statistical Operation.
