Rangeland Analysis Platform - vegetation cover v2 2005

Rangeland Analysis Platform vegetation cover v2 2005

These data represent rangeland cover estimates determined by Allred et al. (2021)
and as accessible on the Rangeland Analysis Platform (https://rangelands.app).
Values are estimates of aerial cover for the following rangeland functional groups:

Band 1 - annual forb and grass
Band 2 - bare ground
Band 3 - litter
Band 4 - perennial forb and grass
Band 5 - shrub
Band 6 - tree
No Data value = 255

Although these data were produced across a broad region, they are primarily
intended for rangeland ecosystems. Cover estimates may not be suitable in other
ecosystems, e.g., forests, agricultural lands. Uncertainty values are not included.

Data are in WGS84 Geographic Coordinate System (EPSG:4326); spatial resolution
is approximately 30m.
