%X Comparing LULC maps is essential for understanding landscape dynamics, alteration patterns, and environmental implications. This study uses an algorithm to harmonize the maps of Brazil National Inventory and MapBiomas based on the spatial distribution of LULC classes. This investigation aims to compute the agreement between two initiatives while examining the uncertainties of both. Furthermore, the results highlight the classes and areas of potential inconsistency or ambiguity, allowing to identify and correct discrepancies, proposing a harmonized legend between then. For all Brazil, we achieved a maximum concordance of 81% between the two maps; out of the 44 equivalences, the algorithm correctly identified 84% of the mappings between the classes.
