Detailed maps of European wetlands reveal overlooked patches of ecosystems

TL;DR - A machine-learning analysis of satellite imagery produced high-resolution maps of European wetlands, revealing previously overlooked ecosystem patches. The maps could improve wetland monitoring and conservation planning.

• The method applies machine learning to satellite images.
• It maps wetland environments at high spatial resolution.
• The results identify patches missed by existing ecosystem maps.
• Detailed coverage can help target conservation efforts.
