Assessment of Upland Hardwood Forest and Woodland used a measure of the proportion of Oak and Hickory in the forested landscape. This folder contains two data layers: The interpolated Oak Hickory basal area values obtained from USFS (ranging from 0 – 284.777), and a layer describing the proportion of oak hickory created by dividing the Oak Hickory layer by the Interpolated Basal Area of Live Trees data layer (ranging from 0-1). Source data obtained from the USFS live tree species basal area of the contiguous United States (2000 – 2009) data product, which integrates vegetation phenology from MODIS imagery with extensive FIA field plot data of tree species basal area to map species distribution and basal area at 250 meter spatial resolution [...]
Summary
Assessment of Upland Hardwood Forest and Woodland used a measure of the proportion of Oak and Hickory in the forested landscape. This folder contains two data layers: The interpolated Oak Hickory basal area values obtained from USFS (ranging from 0 – 284.777), and a layer describing the proportion of oak hickory created by dividing the Oak Hickory layer by the Interpolated Basal Area of Live Trees data layer (ranging from 0-1). Source data obtained from the USFS live tree species basal area of the contiguous United States (2000 – 2009) data product, which integrates vegetation phenology from MODIS imagery with extensive FIA field plot data of tree species basal area to map species distribution and basal area at 250 meter spatial resolution for the 48 conterminous U.S. states. This version has been clipped to the project area, projected to NAD 1983 Albers, and resampled to 30 meters spatial resolution.
