Productivity of U.S. Rangelands, Annual Data lbs/acre (Map Service)
dataset
posted on 2024-10-01, 13:02 authored by U.S. Forest ServiceProduction data were generated using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) from the Thematic Mapper Suite from 1984 to 2021 at 250 m resolution. The NDVI is converted to production estimates using two regression formulas depending on the level of the NDVI; there is one equation for lower values (and thus lower production values) and one for higher values.
