FCOVER is an indicator of the spatial extent of vegetation independent of land cover class. It is a dimensionless quantity that varies from 0 to 1, and as an intrinsic property of the canopy, is not dependent on satellite observation conditions. This product consists of a national scale coverage (Canada) of monthly maps of FCOVER indicator during a growing season (May-June-July-August-September) at 20m resolution. References: L. Brown, R.

La fraction de couverture végétale est un indicateur de l'étendue spatiale de la végétation indépendamment de la classe de couverture terrestre. Il s'agit d'une grandeur sans dimension qui varie de 0 à 1 et, en tant que propriété intrinsèque de la canopée, ne dépend pas des conditions d'observation par satellite. Ce produit est constitué d'une couverture à l'échelle nationale (Canada) de cartes mensuelles de l'indicateur FCOVER pendant une saison de croissance (mai-juin-juillet-août-septembre) à une résolution de 20 m.
