Tree Canopy Cover and Canopy Height at 1-Meter Resolution in Vermont, USA

Abstract

This dataset provides 1-meter resolution tree canopy cover and canopy height data for the state of Vermont. The data were derived using a rules-based expert system that integrated leaf-on LiDAR and imagery data into a single classification workflow, utilizing spectral, height, and spatial information from the datasets. The canopy cover and canopy height data are organized by county. In the canopy cover file, a grid cell value of 1 indicates the presence of canopy cover. In the canopy height files, the values represent canopy height in meters, with a scaling factor of 100 applied to reduce file size. This dataset has been used as input for a novel forest carbon monitoring and modeling system, which integrates a mechanistic model (i.e., Ecosystem Demography EDv3), multi-source remote sensing data, meteorological reanalysis, and soil properties. It enables the estimation of carbon dynamics from the past to the present and projects future carbon sequestration (Hurtt et al.,2019 and 2024; Huang et al.,2019; Ma et al 2021; Tang et al., 2021). Similar data for other states in the northeastern U.S. are archived in other repositories. Reference 1. Hurtt, G., Zhao, M., Sahajpal, R., Armstrong, A., Birdsey, R., Campbell, E., ... & Tang, H.
