The dataset provides an estimate of 2020 herbaceous mostly annual fractional cover predicted on May 1st with an emphasis on annual exotic grasses Historically, similar maps were produced at a spatial resolution of 250m (Boyte et al. 2019 https://doi.org/10.5066/P9ZEK5M1., Boyte et al. 2018 https://doi.org/10.5066/P9KSR9Z4.), but we are now mapping at a 30m resolution (Pastick et al. 2020 doi:10.3390/rs12040725). This dataset was generated using in situ observations from Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring data (AIM) plots; weekly composites of harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 (HLS) data (https://hls.gsfc.nasa.gov/); relevant environmental, vegetation, remotely sensed, and geophysical drivers. These data were integrating into regression tree (RT) models for prediction of weekly cloud free Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). A total 11,002 AIM plots from years 2016 - 2019 were used to train an ensemble of five-fold RT models using a cross-validation approach (each observation was used as test data once). Cheatgrass (Bromus tectrorum) is the most common species, however, number of other species were included in this study: Bromus arvensis L., Bromus briziformis, Bromus catharticus Vahl, Bromus commutatus, Bromus diandrus, Bromus hordeaceus L., Bromus japonicus, Bromus madritensis L., Bromus racemosus, Bromus rubens L., Bromus secalinus L., Bromus texensis (Shear) Hitchc., and Taeniatherum caput-medusae. The geographic coverage includes rangelands in the Great Basin, the Snake River Plain, the state of Wyoming, and contiguous areas. We applied a mask to areas above 2700-m elevation to target areas of unlikely substantial annual grass cover. To target likely sagebrush ecosystems, the mask also removed pixels classified as something other than shrub or grassland/herbaceous by the 2016 National Land Cover Dataset (NLCD).
