Abstract:
This data publication contains percent eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana) tree canopy cover estimates for three separate study areas: two in Nebraska ("Custer" and "SENE" study areas) and one in Kansas ("Kansas"). These data are derived from airborne lidar data and 30-meter Landsat imagery. There is a separate file for each study area for every year from 1985-2018. Data are intended for use in treed areas outside of urban centers. A value of 0 has been assigned to urban areas according to the 2016 National Land Cover Database and to areas with a tree cover value of less than 0.1% as determined from lidar data.
