2016 riparian vegetation within the Colorado River Basin

Abstract

A raster that depicts modeled riparian vegetation in 2016. Training data were collected in Google Earth Engine using National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) imagery. Presence and absence riparian vegetation locations were ocularly estimated within Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ecoregion III boundaries within the Colorado River Basin. Random forests models were then developed at each ecoregion using Landsat composites and associated vegetation indices. Results were mosaicked to create a continuous raster across the Colorado River Basin.GeoTiff raster of 2016 riparian vegetation within the Colorado River Basin. This map was created from a random forest model developed in Google Earth Engine.This project was funded by the Walton Family Foundation
