Seasonal ground cover - Landsat, JRSRP algorithm
Estimates of ‘true’ ground cover for each season, restricted to areas of less than 60% woody vegetation, by combining information from the Persistent Green and Seasonal fractional cover products.
-
KEYWORDS:Landsat, ground cover, cover, JRSRP
-
DATA LICENCE
& ACCESS RIGHTS:CC-BY 3.0 -
SPATIAL COVERAGE
& RESOLUTION:30 m resolution; Australia -
TEMPORAL COVERAGE & RESOLUTION:At least one image per standard calendar season; 1990 to ongoing
-
PRODUCTION STATUS:Experimental product, not fully validated
-
-
Seasonal fractional cover - Landsat, JRSRP algorithm
Representative seasonal medians of fractional cover, with landcover fractions representing the proportions of green, non-green and bare cover. The benefits of compositing seasonal images are the creation of a regular time-series capturing seasonal variability, and the minimisation of missing data and contamination present in single date imagery.

Fractional cover - Landsat, JRSRP algorithm
Vegetation fractional cover represents the exposed proportion of green, non-green, and bare cover within each pixel. Landsat-scale ground cover information is important for soil erosion and nutrient flux estimates into the stream network, as well as assessing the impact of human activities.
