Cover Story: Land cover products constitute essential information for various applications and many such datasets are readily available at various scales. The present work focuses on a Mediterranean area and investigates the accuracy of the landscape representation in three widely used land cover products, two global ones, i.e., the MODIS and the ESA Climate Change Initiative, and the European CORINE land cover product. Comparing them against a land cover dataset created with ground surveys highlighted an underestimation of the forested area class in all three examined products. The accuracy metrics were reasonably high for the broad classes (forest vs. non-forest), while in the detailed classification, the comparison of the reference dataset with the three land cover products highlighted specific weaknesses.
