Methodology
Woody fractional cover is defined as the percentage area covered by a canopy surface over a particular pixel resolution and is expressed in percent (%). The product was developed through the integration of 2010 ALOS PALSAR-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar images (SAR), ancillary digital elevation model (DEM) derived variables and airborne LiDAR data. Commercial plantations of very high AGB, permanent water bodies and urban areas were masked out since it was not captured by the LiDAR tracks. The mapped product was clipped to the savannah biome (Mucina and Rutherford 2006) and the SAR AGB woody map was resampled to 1km pixel resolutions using a mean aggregation method.
