This product contains plot location data for LCMAP Hawaii Reference Data in a .shp format as well as annual land cover, land use, and change process variables for each reference data plot in a separate .csv table. The same information available in the.csv file is also provided in a .xlsx format. The LCMAP Hawaii 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 Hawaii Reference Data Product includes the collection of an independent dataset of 600 30-meter by 30-meter plots across the island chain of Hawaii. The LCMAP Hawaii Reference Data Products collected variables related to primary and secondary land use, primary and secondary land cover(s), change processes, and other ancillary variables annually across Hawaii from 2000-2019. The sites in this dataset were collected via manual image interpretation. These samples were selected using a stratified random sampling process via stratification using a hybrid NLCD 2001 Hawaii and NOAA C-Cap 2011 land cover map.
