To date, to our knowledge, accurate mapping of crop types remains challenging due to the intra-class variability of crops and labyrinthine natural conditions. The challenge is further complicated for smallholder farming systems in mountainous areas where field sizes are small and crop types are very diverse. This bottleneck issue makes it difficult and sometimes impossible to use remote sensing in monitoring crop rotation, a desired and required farm management policy in parts of China. This study integrated Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 images for crop type mapping and rotation monitoring in Inner Mongolia, China, with an extensive field-based survey dataset. We accomplished this work on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform. The results indicated that most crop types were mapped fairly accurately with an F1-score around 0.9 and a clear separation of crop types from one another. Sentinel-1 polarization achieved a better performance in wheat and rapeseed classification among different feature combinations, and Sentinel-2 spectral bands exhibited superiority in soybean and corn identification. Using the accurate crop type classification results, we identified crop fields, changed or unchanged, from 2017 to 2018. These findings suggest that the combination of Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 proved effective in crop type mapping and crop rotation monitoring of smallholder farms in labyrinthine mountain areas, allowing practical monitoring of crop rotations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14030566","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,25]],"date-time":"2022-01-25T21:07:11Z","timestamp":1643144831000},"page":"566","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":37,"title":["Smallholder Crop Type Mapping and Rotation Monitoring in Mountainous Areas with Sentinel-1\/2 Imagery"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Tingting","family":"Ren","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Asia Hub, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210095, China"},{"name":"Inner Mongolia Academy of Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Sciences, Hohhot 010031, China"}]},{"given":"Hongtao","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Inner Mongolia Academy of Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Sciences, Hohhot 010031, China"}]},{"given":"Xiumin","family":"Cai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Asia Hub, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210095, China"}]},{"given":"Shengnan","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Asia Hub, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210095, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8183-0297","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jiaguo","family":"Qi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Asia Hub, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210095, China"},{"name":"Center for Global Change & Earth Observations, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48823, USA"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2607","DOI":"10.1080\/01431161.2012.748992","article-title":"Finer resolution observation and monitoring of global land cover: First mapping results with Landsat TM and ETM+ data","volume":"34","author":"Gong","year":"2013","journal-title":"Int.
