Dynamic landscapes, such as the Yellow River Basin in China, require consistent and precise land use and land cover information to better understand the prevailing changes and underlying factors, which are lacking so far. In this study, we derived novel and accurate multi-temporal land cover products, delineating the land surface characteristics from the last decade based on high-temporal MODIS time series at 250 m resolution and evaluated major land surface dynamics in a very complex and heterogeneous river basin.
