Processing collections of Earth observation images as on-demand multispectral, multitemporal raster data cubes. Users define cubes by spatiotemporal extent, resolution, and spatial reference system and let 'gdalcubes' automatically apply cropping, reprojection, and resampling using the 'Geospatial Data Abstraction Library' ('GDAL'). Implemented functions on data cubes include reduction over space and time, applying arithmetic expressions on pixel band values, moving window aggregates over time, filtering by space, time, bands, and predicates on pixel values, exporting data cubes as 'netCDF' or 'GeoTIFF' files, plotting, and extraction from spatial and or spatiotemporal features. All computational parts are implemented in C++, linking to the 'GDAL', 'netCDF', 'CURL', and 'SQLite' libraries. See Appel and Pebesma (2019) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.3390%2Fdata4030092" target="_top">doi:10.3390/data4030092</a>&gt; for further details.

Indonesia is the third-largest coffee producer globally and exports a substantial share of its production to European Union (EU) countries. Recent implementation of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), which requires deforestation-free supply chains, highlights the need for spatially-explicit coffee mapping to support the assessment of coffee-associated deforestation. In this study, we utilized multitemporal and multi-sensor remote sensing to produce annual maps of coffee distribution from 2016 to 2024. We analyzed the spatial patterns of annual coffee distribution during this period, and evaluated the potential implications of EUDR for coffee production in Indonesia. Our maps of coffee agroecosystems demonstrate an overall classification accuracy exceeding 80%, and are broadly consistent with independent coffee datasets (i.e. national statistics and coffee probability maps from the Forest Data Partnership). We detected a net increase of ∼16% in coffee area over the eight-year period, although the patterns of change vary across provinces. Based on these findings, we estimate that 87.9% of the mapped coffee area in 2024 meets the EUDR deforestation-free criterion, and only a relatively small proportion of agroecosystems are classified as non-deforestation-free. These findings highlight opportunities for spatially targeted EUDR implementation, where deforestation-free coffee agroecosystems can be supported towards meeting broader EUDR requirements, while areas associated with forest conversion can be supported towards other pathways, such as sustainable agricultural practices, restoration, and forest conservation.
