 This study examined the capabilities of Sentinel-2, S-2, satellite data for mapping crop types and tree species. It found that S-2 data can provide accurate and reliable crop and tree species maps when combined with other spectral bands. Additionally, it showed that the near-infrared NIR bands were less important than the red-edge and SWIR bands for vegetation mapping.
