The study was carried out for reclaimed areas \u2013 two former sulfur mines located in Southeast Poland, namely, Jezi\u00f3rko, where 216.5 ha of afforested area was reclaimed after borehole exploitation, and Mach\u00f3w, where 871.7 ha of dump area was reclaimed after open cast strip mining. The current land use and land cover (LULC) classes at the Mach\u00f3w and Jezi\u00f3rko former sulfur mines are derived based on Sentinel-2 image processing, and confirmed the applied type of reclamation for both analysed areas. The following LULC classes showed a significant spatial range: broad-leaved forest, coniferous forest, and transitional woodland shrub. The progress of afforested areas, not only in terms of the occupied area, but also in terms of the growth of trees and shrubs, was confirmed. The results of the study showed differences in vegetation parameters, namely, height and canopy cover. Various stages of vegetation growth were also observed. This indicates an ongoing process of vegetation development, as an effect of the reclamation treatment for these areas.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs12020261","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,13]],"date-time":"2020-01-13T04:05:51Z","timestamp":1578888351000},"page":"261","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Reclaimed Area Land Cover Mapping Using Sentinel-2 Imagery and LiDAR Point Clouds"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1305-5476","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marta","family":"Szostak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forest Resources Management, Faculty of Forestry, University of Agriculture in Krakow, Al. 29 Listopada 46, 31-425 Krakow, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6930-8730","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcin","family":"Pietrzykowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forest Ecology and Silviculture, Faculty of Forestry, University of Agriculture in Krakow, Al. 29 Listopada 46, 31-425 Krakow, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1332-8545","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Justyna","family":"Likus-Cie\u015blik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forest Ecology and Silviculture, Faculty of Forestry, University of Agriculture in Krakow, Al. 29 Listopada 46, 31-425 Krakow, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"857","DOI":"10.1007\/s00024-013-0668-8","article-title":"Aerial orthophoto and airborne laser scanning as monitoring tools for land cover dynamics: A case study from the Milicz Forest District (Poland)","volume":"171","author":"Szostak","year":"2014","journal-title":"Pure Appl.
