Methodology
Woody fraction cover: The woody cover fraction is the fraction of area (0 to 1) projected on a horizontal plane occupied by woody plants. The product was developed through the integration of 2010 ALOS PALSAR-1 synthetic aperture radar images and LiDAR tracks. The LiDAR tracks were processed to derive a canopy height model for woody vegetation above 1 m at 1m pixel size, and to generate a detailed LiDAR woody cover product at 25m pixel size. The dual-polarized (HV, HH) SAR bands were modelled using the LiDAR woody cover as reference data for calibration and validation of the final SAR woody fraction cover map. Units: Percent Woody fraction cover
