Abstract Although agricultural burning is banned in Russia, it is still a widespread practice. Accurately monitoring cropland burned area is an important task as these estimates are used in the calculation of cropland burning emissions, which are ultimately utilized in policy making decisions.

An archive of cropland field state samples was generated from very high resolution (
