Reviewer 2 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsDear authors of the manuscript entitled: "Classification of coniferous and broad-leaved forests in China based on high-resolution imagery and local samples in Google earth engine". I have thoroughly read your paper, I consider it a very interesting analysis and of great relevance to the country of analysis. However, it should be improved before publication, especially in terms of presentation and order of the manuscript. Improve the wording of sections such as the introduction, methods, discussion, conclusions.
