This dataset contains vegetation canopy metrics for the Greater Kruger National Park region of South Africa for 2007-2010 and 2015-2024. Metrics include relative height 98th percentile (RH98), fractional canopy cover, and foliage height diversity. This dataset contains vegetation canopy metrics for the Greater Kruger National Park region of South Africa. Metrics include relative height 98th percentile (RH98), fractional canopy cover, and foliage height diversity. They were derived by modeling a sample of Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) Level 2A Elevation and Height Metrics and Level 2B Canopy Cover and Vertical Profile Metrics at the 25-m footprint level with wall-to-wall spatial datasets including Landsat, PALSAR, topography derived from NASADEM, and soils data from iSDAsoil. Maps for 2023 and 2024 were created by applying the model trained from 2007-2022 data to PALSAR and Landsat data for 2023 and 2024. The data are suitable for analyzing change in woody canopy s[...]

The data are suitable for analyzing change in woody canopy structure within the savanna ecosystems of this region. The data are provided in cloud optimized GeoTIFF format.
Acoustic_Data_SonomaCounty_CA_2341
This dataset holds in situ sound recordings from sites in Sonoma County, California, USA as part of the Soundscapes to Landscapes citizen science project. Recordings were collected from 2017 to 2022 during the bird breeding season (mid-March thru mid-July). Sites (n=1399) were selected across the county; locations were stratified with respect to topographic position and broad land use/land cover types, such as forest, shrubland, herbaceous, urban, agriculture, and riparian areas. Two types of automated recorders were used: Android-based smartphones with attached microphones and AudioMoths. Recorders were deployed at sites for at least 3 days, and programmed to record 1 min of every 10, thus providing temporal sampling through day and night. Each recording was saved in a waveform audio file format (.wav) with 16-bit digitization depth and 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz sampling rate for smartphone and AudioMoth recorders, respectively. The dataset also includes site information including site location when so permitted by landowners in tabular form and photographs of field sites.

The Headwall Hyperspectral Reflectance data are for the Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) at Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve (CCESR), Minnesota (HWHYPCCMN1MM). The reflectance products are at 1 millimeter (mm) spatial resolution in the 400 to 1,000 nanometer spectral range. This dataset can be used to understand the optical diversity-biodiversity relationship and investigate the spatial sensitivity of the relationship at local scales. A Headwall Series E imaging spectrometer was mounted on a tram system to collect designated plots for the biodiversity (BioDIV) experiment at the LTER Cedar Creek site. The imaging spectrometer, located 3 meters above the ground surface, obtained 1 mm ground pixel size of hyperspectral field image cubes that are among the finest spatial resolution available. The fine-scale images were acquired at a prairie grassland ecosystem during June/July 2014 and July 2015. Provided in the HWHYPCCMN1MM product are 920 to 924 hyperspectral bands in an En[...]

Goddard’s LiDAR, Hyperspectral, and Thermal Imager (G-LiHT) mission is a portable, airborne imaging system that aims to simultaneously map the composition, structure, and function of terrestrial ecosystems. G-LiHT primarily focuses on a broad diversity of forest communities and ecoregions in North America, mapping aerial swaths over the Conterminous United States (CONUS), Alaska, Puerto Rico, and Mexico. The purpose of G-LiHT’s Aerial Orthomosaic data product (GLORTHO) is to provide orthorectified high-resolution aerial photography. This data is provided as a supplement to other G-LiHT data products. GLORTHO data are processed as a raster data product (GeoTIFF) at 1 inch spatial resolution over locally defined areas. A low resolution browse is also provided with a color map applied in PNG format. Known Issues: Orthomosaics are automatically generated, and results may not be optimal.
