Rangeland Analysis Platform - vegetation cover 1988

Rangeland Analysis Platform vegetation cover 1988 These data represent rangeland cover estimates determined by Jones et al. (2018)<br> and as accessible on the Rangeland Analysis Platform (https://rangelands.app).<br> Values are percent aerial cover of the following rangeland functional groups: Band 1 - annual forbs and grasses<br> Band 2 - bare ground<br> Band 3 - litter<br> Band 4 - perennial forbs and grasses<br> Band 5 - shrubs<br> Band 6 - trees<br> No Data value = 255 Although these data were produced across a broad region, they are primarily<br> intended for rangeland ecosystems. Cover estimates may not be suitable in other<br> ecosystems, e.g., forests, agricultural lands. Data are in WGS84 Geographic Coordinate System (EPSG:4326); spatial resolution<br> is approximately 30m. Please attribute these data to:<br> Jones, M. O., B. W. Allred, D. E. Naugle, J. D.
