U.S. annual cultivated extent and maps of cropland expansion and cropland abandonment

This repository will eventually contain the data layers of several connected products related to U.S. cropland extent and dynamics, including: <br> A set of 30-m resolution maps of <strong>annual cultivated extent </strong>for the conterminous US (CONUS) for the years 1986-2018 A 30-m resolution nationwide map of <strong>abandoned croplands </strong>in the U.S., as described by Xie et al. (in review). A 30-m resolution nationwide map of <strong>stable croplands</strong> in the U.S., as described by Uludere-Aragon et al. (in review). A 30-m resolution nationwide map of <strong>cropland expansion</strong> in the U.S. for the period 1986-2018 (in prep).
