Yukon Forest Vegetation Inventory With Soil Moisture Regime

Vegetation Inventory - 5k - Soil Moisture Regime delineates forest and vegetation stands in the Yukon at a 1:5,000 operational scale. The inventory was completed between 2013 and 2014 using aerial imagery from 2007 and 2012.

Use Cases

• Classify vegetation stands using delineated boundaries and soil moisture regime attributes.
• Analyze forest inventory changes by comparing stereo imagery from 2007 and 2012.
• Map operational-level forest data for the Haines Junction region using 40 cm GSD imagery.

Strengths

• Operational-level forest inventory at a detailed 1:5,000 scale.
• Incorporates aerial imagery with a ground sample distance as fine as 40 cm.
• Data collection spans multiple years, with inventory work from 2013-2014 based on imagery from 2007 and 2012.

Limitations

• Specific column names, row counts, and sample data are unavailable for review.
• Imagery sources vary in quality, from 40 cm GSD color/infrared to ~1m GSD scanned black and white.
