A Systematic Evaluation of the COTQ Provincial Land Cover Product: Structural Consistency, Spectral Separability, and Relative Positioning Against ESA, ESRI, and Google Products

The paper evaluates the Quebec-specific 10‑m land‑cover product COTQ against three global 10‑m datasets (ESA WorldCover, ESRI LandCover, and Google DynamicWorld). Using structural indicators, spectral separability metrics, and photo‑interpretation, the study finds that COTQ most closely resembles ESA WorldCover but shows systematic differences in urban, wetland, and rocky classes. The analysis clarifies COTQ’s relative strengths and weaknesses for operational land monitoring in Quebec.

SAGE: A sampling-aware global evaluation benchmark for species distribution modeling

The paper introduces SAGE, a Sampling‑Aware Global Evaluation benchmark for species distribution modeling that uses GBIF records for training and sPlotOpen vegetation plots for presence‑absence evaluation across 5,771 plant species. It groups species by sampling effort and relative prevalence to assess how well single‑species and multi‑species deep‑learning SDMs perform under different data conditions. The study finds that Random Forests and DeepSDMs perform best overall, with DeepSDMs excelling for infrequently recorded species only when bias‑correction techniques are applied.
