There is a 1 year lag between the source data and the TCA Assessment year. For instance in 2024, mean annual productivity data used were 1984-2018 (historical record) and 2019-2023 (recent conditions). Note that in 2022, data only covers the western US, in all other years it covers CONUS.</p><p>Format: Raster data are binary: (1) negative or (0) not negative.</p><p>Resolution: 250m</p><p>Source: Annual RPMS Products from <a href="https://fuelcast.net/downloads">FuelCast</a>.
