Abstract:
This data publication contains lidar, advanced land imagery, geographic and tree data for 26 different predictor variables used in the modeling and mapping of basal area and tree density across two diverse coniferous forest landscapes in north-central Idaho. It also contains the Arc/INFO GRID raster format 30-meter-resolution maps for both study areas showing predicted basal area and tree density.
