Yukon Forest Stand Inventory From 2007-2014 Aerial Imagery

2013-2014 operational forest inventory delineating vegetation stands in Yukon at a 1:5,000 scale. The data was created from stereo aerial images acquired in 2007 and 2012, with ground sample distances ranging from 40 cm to approximately 1 meter. It is distributed by the Government of Yukon.

Use Cases

• Classify forest stand types using delineated vegetation boundaries and stereo image interpretation.
• Analyze vegetation distribution patterns across the Haines Junction region and southcentral Yukon.
• Assess forest inventory completeness for areas mapped between 2013 and 2014 operational stages.

Strengths

• Operational-level inventory at a detailed 1:5,000 mapping scale.
• Created from stereo aerial imagery with specific ground sample distances (40 cm and ~1m) documented.
• Clear temporal coverage for both source imagery (2007, 2012) and inventory completion (2013-2014).

Limitations

• Specific data schema, column names, and record counts are unknown.
• Imagery sources vary in quality (color/infrared vs. black and white) and resolution across regions.
• Sample data and file size are unavailable for preview.
