NASA's Terra satellite MODIS sensor provides proportional estimates of woody vegetation, herbaceous vegetation, and bare ground across the Amazon Basin. The Vegetation Continuous Fields (VCF) approach depicts heterogeneous land cover at a 1-kilometer resolution, derived from original 500-meter data. These continuous fields may represent mixed land cover areas more effectively than traditional discrete classification schemes.
