Forest Service Science TCC

NLCD TCC

Description: Science TCC product includes 30-meter spatial resolution maps of TCC and standard error for years 1985-2023. Two-layer dataset, with modeled TCC values on every pixel, along with a standard error value + metadata Provides objective numerical model outputs Masks and thresholds are not applied to the Science version. TCC in water bodies or non-tree croplands (e.g., center-pivot irrigated fields) may be present. Produced by the Forest Service Data for the years 1985 through 2023 are available below.	Description: NLCD TCC product suite includes 30- meter spatial resolution maps of TCC for the years 1985 through 2023. The NLCD TCC data are the result of more in-depth post-processing of the Science products, including various masking (i.e., water and non-tree agriculture), filtering, minimum-mapping unit (MMU) routines, and a process to reduce interannual noise and return longer duration trends. Produced by the Forest Service as a partner in the Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics Consortium (MRLC)
Primary User Community: This version serves a user community that prizes statistics over visual appearance. This community typically has access to advanced geospatial and statistical analysis resources.	Primary User Community: This version serves a large part of the NLCD user community that desires: Maps with reasonable cartographic appearance and reduced interannual noise.
