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 based and Land use regression models.
