National Land Cover Database 2019: A comprehensive strategy for creating the 1986-2019 forest disturbance product National Land Cover Database 2019: A comprehensive strategy for creating the 1986-2019 forest disturbance product
The National Land Cover Database (NLCD) 2016 products show that, between 2001 and 2016, nearly half of the land cover change in the conterminous United States (CONUS) involved forested areas. To ensure the quality of NLCD land cover and land cover change products, it is important to accurately detect the location and time of forest disturbance. We designed a comprehensive strategy to...

National Land Cover Database 2019: A new strategy for creating clean leaf-on and leaf-off Landsat composite images National Land Cover Database 2019: A new strategy for creating clean leaf-on and leaf-off Landsat composite images
National Land Cover Database (NLCD) 2019 is a new epoch of national land cover products for the conterminous United States. Image quality is fundamental to the quality of any land cover product. Image preprocessing has often taken a considerable proportion of overall time and effort for this kind of national project. An approach to prepare image inputs for NLCD 2019 production was...

Conterminous United States land cover change patterns 2001–2016 from the 2016 National Land Cover Database Conterminous United States land cover change patterns 2001–2016 from the 2016 National Land Cover Database
The 2016 National Land Cover Database (NLCD) product suite (available on www.mrlc.gov), includes Landsat-based, 30 m resolution products over the conterminous (CONUS) United States (U.S.) for land cover, urban imperviousness, and tree, shrub, herbaceous and bare ground fractional percentages. The release of NLCD 2016 provides important new information on land change patterns across CONUS...

A new generation of the United States National Land Cover Database: Requirements, research priorities, design, and implementation strategies A new generation of the United States National Land Cover Database: Requirements, research priorities, design, and implementation strategies
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in partnership with several federal agencies, has developed and released four National Land Cover Database (NLCD) products over the past two decades: NLCD 1992, 2001, 2006, and 2011. These products provide spatially explicit and reliable information on the Nation’s land cover and land cover change. To continue the legacy of NLCD and further establish a...
