Remote Sensing Maps of Tree Species and Health for ACAD and KAWW National Parks

Geospatial maps of dominant tree species and crown health generated for a Natural Resource Condition Assessment project. The data includes reflectance-based species and health maps and tree crown health maps. The dataset was produced by the Department of the Interior and last updated on 2026-04-15.

Use Cases

• Monitor forest health changes based on reflectance-based health maps mentioned in the description
• Model species distribution for conservation planning based on dominant species maps
• Assess resource condition for park management based on tree crown health maps

Strengths

• Data is from a formal Natural Resource Condition Assessment project.
• Includes multiple derived map products (dominant species, reflectance-based health, crown health).
• Last updated on 2026-04-15, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and spatial resolution are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is packaged in a ZIP file; internal formats and structure require inspection.
