Mongolia is an important part of the Mongolian Plateau. Its land cover patterns and changes are of great significance for resources, environment, ecology, and sustainable development of Northeast Asia. In order to address issues such as lack of high accuracy and up-to-date land cover products in this region, we have used images obtained through Landsat thematic mapper and object-oriented classification method to produce data products and analyze the Mongolian land cover patterns. A classification system suitable for Mongolian land cover was first proposed taking characteristics of the Mongolian landscape into consideration. Interpretation algorithms and rules of 10 kinds of natural and artificial features were studied using the object-oriented interpolation method, and a complete remote sensing interpolation technological program suitable for Mongolian land cover mapping was developed. Land cover products for Mongolia for 2010 were obtained by interpretation of individual Landsat scenes. The accuracies of classification of the datasets in the first and second class levels were 92.34% and 80.24%, respectively. The main land cover types in Mongolia consist of barren lands, grasslands, and forests. Out of these, barren lands account for the maximum area (approximately 48.64% of the total area) with concentrated and continuous characteristics, and are mainly distributed in the south and west of Mongolia. The second largest areas are covered by grasslands (42.85% of the total area) with clear regional characteristics, and mainly distributed in the north of Mongolia and near the rivers. Forest areas constitute the smallest part, accounting for only 6.63% of the total area, and are mainly distributed in the mountains of north and northwest Mongolia. The spatial distribution of the land cover presents clear regional differences and land type transitivity. The land cover changes from barren to desert steppe, to real steppe, and finally, to forests as one moves from the south to north. The desert steppe forms a clear separate belt in the central part of Mongolia.
