An Unvegetated to Vegetated Ratio (UVVR) for coastal wetlands of the Atlantic Coast - 2016

Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

Prior research has shown that sediment budgets, and therefore stability, of microtidal marsh complexes scale with areal unvegetated to vegetated marsh ratios (UVVR) suggesting these metrics are broadly applicable indicators of microtidal marsh vulnerability. This effort has developed the UVVR metric using readily available satellite imagery for the coastal areas of the contiguous United States (CONUS). These datasets provide annual averages of 1) developed, 2) vegetated, 3) unvegetated ratios and 4) an unvegetated to vegetated ratio (UVVR) at 30-meter resolution over the coastal areas of the contiguous United States for the years 2014-2018. Additionally, multi-year average values of vegetated ratio, its standard deviation and a UVVR based on the annually-averaged vegetated ratio are provided for the coastal wetlands of the contiguous United States based on the National Wetland Inventory delineation.
