FRI: Crown cover

Crown cover (CCOVER) is an estimate of the proportional area of the ground covered by the vertical projection of tree crowns on to the ground. Available here as a crown cover raster (GeoTIF) with a 10 m pixel resolution.

Download: Here The Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment, Forest Service Branch, has developed a forest resource inventory (FRI) which meets a variety of strategic and operational planning information needs for the boreal plains. Such needs include information on the general land cover, terrain, and growing stock (height, diameter, basal area, timber volume and stem density) within the provincial forest and adjacent forest fringe. This inventory provides spatially explicit information as 10 m or 20 m raster grids and as vectors polygons for relatively homogeneous forest stands or naturally non-forested areas with a 0.5 ha minimum area and a 2.0 ha median area.  Crown cover (CCOVER) is an estimate of the proportional area of the ground covered by the vertical projection of tree crowns on to the ground. CCOVER is available here as a color-mapped 16-bit unsigned integer raster grid in GeoTIFF format with a 10 m pixel resolution. An ArcGIS Pro layer file (*.lyrx) is supplied for viewing CCOVER data in the following 10 per cent categories. Domain: [NULL, 0…100]. RANGE LABEL RED GREEN BLUE 0 <= CCOVER < 5 0 NA NA NA 5 <= CCOVER < 15 10 224 242 241 15 <= CCOVER < 25 20 199 227 224 25 <= CCOVER < 35 30 174 212 208 35 <= CCOVER < 45 40 149 196 191 45 <= CCOVER < 55 50 124 181 175 55 <= CCOVER < 65 60 100 166 158 65 <= CCOVER < 75 70 75 151 142 75 <= CCOVER < 85 80 50 135 125 85 <= CCOVER < 95 90 25 120 109 95 <= CCOVER <= 100 100 0 105 92 For more information, see the Forest Inventory Standard of the Saskatchewan Environmental Code, Forest Inventory Chapter.
