NDVI, Species Cover, and LAI, Burned and Unburned sites, Interior Alaska, 2017-2018 : Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE)

This dataset provides leaf area index (LAI), tree species and canopy cover, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and NDVI trends for boreal forests in interior Alaska, USA. These data were collected to investigate NDVI trends with forest structure and composition as influenced by disturbanc...

Description
Summary:This dataset provides leaf area index (LAI), tree species and canopy cover, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and NDVI trends for boreal forests in interior Alaska, USA. These data were collected to investigate NDVI trends with forest structure and composition as influenced by disturbance and succession. The data are from 102 sites surveyed in 2017 and 2018 and include locations with and without a fire since 1940. A time series of NDVI was developed from Landsat (1999 - 2018) to measure NDVI trends. The field data cover the period 2017-08-29 to 2018-08-20.
