Source data processing for the National Land Cover Dataset (2001-2016) and the Coastal Change Analysis Program (2005-2016) for use with Landscape Dynamics in the Environmental Settings Protocol

Kinseth M and Nelson L. 2021. Source data processing for the National Land Cover Dataset (2001-2016) and the Coastal Change Analysis Program (2005-2016) for use with Landscape Dynamics in the Environmental Settings Protocol. Data Release Report. NPS/NRSS/DRR-2021/11. National Park Service

This data report documents the acquisition, preparation, and creation of land cover raster datasets for use within the NPS Inventory & Monitoring (I&M) Program. Land cover raster datasets are created for all geographic regions within the extent of the National Park Service (NPS); this includes Alaska, American Samoa, Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, Conterminous U.S., Guam, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands. The land cover raster datasets are derived from Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics Consortium products in the National Land Cover Database (NLCD) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office of Coastal Management product Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) data. These datasets display land cover at up to three classification scales: level 1, modified Anderson level 2, and natural versus converted land cover. The output NLCD and C-CAP land cover datasets produced here supersede all previous releases of NLCD and C-CAP land cover raster datasets produced within the I&M Program. These land cover datasets are used in the NPS I&M Program, including the NPS Environmental Settings monitoring protocol (DeVivo et al. 2018) and may be used for additional efforts being conducted by networks and parks.
