ABoVE: Landsat-derived Annual Dominant Land Cover in Boreal North America, 1986-2020
This dataset contains a 30-m resolution time series of annual land cover classifications as the dominant plant functional type class for all of boreal Alaska and Canada from 1986 to 2020. The data were derived from a time series of Landsat Collection 2 Surface Reflectance and processed using the Continuous Change Detection and Classification (CCDC) algorithm. This dataset includes a nine-class land cover scheme. Classification accuracy was assessed using a probability-based random sample, ensuring statistically robust area estimates and uncertainty measures. The classifications were produced using a supervised Random Forest classification model and Canadian National Forest Inventory photo plot data. The data are provided in multiband GeoTIFF file format and distributed by tile in the ABoVE Level B grid.
