Forest Health Protection Tree Species Metrics at 30-Meter Resolution

300+ individual tree species are mapped at a 30-meter resolution, wall-to-wall across the United States. The dataset provides location and density information to support natural resource assessments by professionals. It was published by the Department of Agriculture and last updated on 2026-03 -13.

Use Cases

• Assess landscape-scale forest health based on species location and density data.
• Model insect and disease risk for tree species based on mapped distribution.
• Characterize resource conditions beyond local boundaries using wall-to-wall coverage.
• Support forest inventory and analysis (FIA) with high-resolution species parameters.

Strengths

• Covers 300+ individual tree species.
• Provides wall-to-wall coverage at a 30-meter resolution.
• Published under a CC-BY-4.0 license for open use.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The description indicates map services have been migrated, requiring verification of the current data source.
