This repository hosts:

• A JavaScript file to process remotely-sensed data into Google Earth Engine (step 1)

• A R script, to be run after the successful completion of the Google Earth Engine processing (step 2)

• Supporting files to run the analysis (e.g. a shapefile of provinces, validation data, etc.)

• Create a Google account, if you do not have one, and require access to Earth Engine https://signup.earthengine.google.com.

• Make sure your Google Drive has enough cloud storage space available.

• Clone the repository.

• Run the JavaScript file in Google Earth Engine and wait that the data processing is complete (can take >24 hours)

• Run the R script, which will reproduce the analysis and the figures contained in the paper.

• Open the QGIS project files to replicate maps with the appropriate layout.
