Mapping Smallholder and Large-scale Cropland Dynamics with a Flexible Classification System and Pixel-based Composites in an Emerging Frontier of Mozambique

(1) Pixel-based compositing impacts classification results. (2) Median compositing performed best for disaggregating cropland by field size. (3) Textural features facilitate the separation of small- and large-scale cropland. (4) Mapping cropland scale dynamics can improve understanding of land and food systems.
