LandCART - 30m - Seasonal¶
Description¶
The Landscape Cover Analysis and Reporting Tools (LandCART) product suite includes seasonal estimates ten fractional cover types: annual forbs, annual grasses, perennial forbs, perennial grasses, sagebrush, total foliar cover, woody vegetation, canopy gaps >= 25 cm, canopy gaps >= 100 cm, and canopy gaps >= 200 cm. Data characterize the percentage of each 30-meter pixel in the western United States covered by each component from 1985-2024 for four seasonal periods (December 22- March 21, March 22 - June 21, June 22- September 21, and September 22 - December 21), characterizing plant phenology and other seasonal patterns.
