abstract

Proportional estimates for tree and water coverage, derived from all seven bands of the MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor. Spatial resolution of 250m.

MODIS Derived Vegetation - Continuous Fields Yearly L3 Global 250m percent tree cover (Terra Product ID MOD44B). Available through https://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/dataprod/mod44.php

Data represents the percent of pixel that is water or tree-covered. The resolution is 250m. These data comprise 3 main layers: % tree cover, % non-tree vegetation, % non-vegetated. The %tree cover the valid values in the VCF percent tree cover layer are: 0 – 100 percent tree cover 200 water 253 fill / outside of projection

Used by Dr Luke Knibbs to develop the automated Satellite and Landuse regression models. Access at http://www.landcover.org/data/vcf/
