Frequency of forest change across the conterminous United States from 1985-2020

We summarized annual remote sensing land cover classifications from the U.S. Geological Survey Land Cover Monitoring, Assessment, and Projection (LCMAP) annual time series to characterize the frequency of forest change across the conterminous United States (CONUS) between 1985-2020. Data include a raster map of CONUS with pixel values representing the number of years in which it was classified as forest across the annual LCMAP time series (0-36), as well as tabular data summarizing forest change by area and proportion for each of the 48 conterminous U.S. states and the District of Columbia. Tabular output includes information on 1) the area classified as forest in each State by year, 2) the forest area in each frequency class (1 - [...]
