Summary

The LCMAP Intensification Reference Data Product was utilized for evaluation and validation of the Land Change Monitoring, Assessment, and Projection (LCMAP) land cover and land cover change products. The LCMAP Intensification Reference Data Product includes the collection of an independent dataset of 2,000 30-meter by 30-meter plots selected via stratified random sampling across the conterminous United States (CONUS). This dataset was collected via manual image interpretation to aid in validation of the land cover and land cover change products as well as area estimates. The LCMAP Intensification Reference Data Product collected variables related to primary and secondary land use, primary and secondary land cover(s), change processes, [...]
