Field sampled measures of basal area and indices from the Landsat

The dataset includes: a) data on field sampled measures of mean basal area and a set of metrics and indices derived from a Landsat 8 image. Field data come from three different sources:(1) From the Tropical Ecology Assessment and Monitoring Network (TEAM) (http://www.teamnetwork.org/, dataset ID 0327011905 4443), comprising six vegetation plots of 100 x 100m on a horizontal plane (i.e. adjusted for slope), following a standardized protocol (TEAM Network 2011); (2) 153 vegetation plots of 25 x 25m, sampled along line transects uniformly distributed in the forest (from Barelli et al. 2015); (3) 33 vegetation plots of 25 x25m, sampled in June-July 2015, placed randomly across the whole forest area, stratified according to a gradient of habitat types (from lowland disturbed to mid-elevation intact mature); b) data on covariates sampled inside the plots of Barelli et al., (2015) that were found to influence the density of the endangered Udzungwa red colobus.
