Forest density estimates in the vicinity of the Ilirney lake system region, Chukotka, Russia

Forest density estimates visually determined by describing the amount of present trees satellite imagery from Esri basemap (Esri) at an area of ~30x30 m qualitatively for 6515 stratified sampled locations at an equal number of locations based on elevation, aspect and slope angle. The density was cat...

Description
Summary:Forest density estimates visually determined by describing the amount of present trees satellite imagery from Esri basemap (Esri) at an area of ~30x30 m qualitatively for 6515 stratified sampled locations at an equal number of locations based on elevation, aspect and slope angle. The density was categorized ranging from 1: single trees to 4: dense tree stands present, and contains a 0: no trees present. Format: ESRI shapefile, points; projection UTM58N; extent: 642085.1, 654775.1, 7462263, 7492833 m (xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax) This work has been supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), which enabled the Russian-German research programme "Kohlenstoff im Permafrost KoPf" (grant no. 03F0764A), by the Initiative and Networking Fund of the Helmholtz Association and by the ERC consolidator grant Glacial Legacy of Ulrike Herzschuh (grant no. 772852).
