30 m Normalized Difference Vegetation Index Maps of Pure Pixels over China for Estimation of Fractional Vegetation Cover (2014, 2018, 2022)

<p>Using multi-angle remote sensing data, we generated 30-m maps for the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) of fully-covered vegetation (<em>Vv</em>) and bare soils (<em>Vs</em>) across China in 2014, 2018 and 2022. These pixel-wise&nbsp;<em>Vv</em> and <em>Vs</em> maps can be integrated with the vegetation index (VI)-based model to facilitate the accurate and rapid estimation of fractional vegetation cover (FVC) across various spatial resolutions and large scales. The products were produced using a multi-angle algorithm (MultiVI), which effectively addressed the spatial variability inherent in <em>Vv</em> and <em>Vs</em> and enhanced the accuracy of FVC estimations in comparison to traditional statistical methods. The estimated FVC demonstrated a root mean square deviation (RMSD) of approximately 0.1 when evaluated against field-measured FVC across different experimental sites.</p>

Maps of the diversity and distribution of Raunkiær's life forms in European vegetation

<p>This repository contains raster files (TIF format) with a 50 km &times; 50 km resolution (over UTM grid EPSG:32633), showcasing the diversity and distribution of Raunki&aelig;r&rsquo;s life forms in European vegetation. The maps are based on two key metrics: (i) the proportion (%) of species within each life form and (ii) the diversity of life forms, including richness and evenness.</p> <p>To generate these maps, we averaged plot-level metric values across a comprehensive dataset comprising 546,501 vegetation plots sourced from the European Vegetation Archive (EVA; Project 163;&nbsp;<a href="https://euroveg.org" target="_new">https://euroveg.org</a>). These plots cover diverse habitats, including 173,190 forests, 260,884 grasslands, 52,517 scrubs, and 59,910 wetlands.</p> <p>The maps encompass the entire dataset, offering a visualization of the geographical distribution patterns of life forms across Europe. Additionally, we created habitat-specific maps by subsetting the dataset to explore unique patterns within each habitat type (forest, grassland, scrub, and wetland).</p> <p>Furthermore, we generated additional maps based on standardised effect sizes (SES) of diversity metrics. Through 500 species identity shuffles without replacement, specific to each habitat type, we examined the deviations from random expectations. SES values outside the range of -1.96 to 1.96 indicate significantly lower or higher metric values than expected at random, respectively.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td><strong>Folder name</strong></td> <td><strong>Description of TIF raster values</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td>full.div</td> <td>Mean richness and evenness of life forms across all habitat types</td> </tr> <tr> <td>full.mean.rel.prop</td> <td>Mean proportion of each life form across all habitat types</td> </tr> <tr> <td>habitat.div</td> <td>Mean richness and evenness of life forms across separate habitat types (forest, grassland, scrub, and wetland)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>habitat.mean.rel.prop</td> <td>Mean proportion of each life form across separate habitat types (forest, grassland, scrub, and wetland)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>SES.full.div</td> <td>Mean richness and evenness of life forms across all habitat types measured with standardized effect sizes (SES)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>SES.full.mean.rel.prop</td> <td>Mean proportion of each life form across all habitat types measured with standardized effect sizes (SES)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>SES.habitat.div</td> <td>Mean richness and evenness of life forms across separate habitat types (forest, grassland, scrub, and wetland) measured with standardized effect sizes (SES)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>SES.habitat.mean.rel.prop</td> <td>Mean proportion of each life form across separate habitat types (forest, grassland, scrub, and wetland) measured with standardized effect sizes (SES)</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p><br>Additional information is available in our publication:<br><br>Midolo, G., Axmanov&aacute;, I., Div&iacute;&scaron;ek, J., Dřevojan, P., Lososov&aacute;, Z., Večeřa, M., Karger, D.

Vegetation Maps of the Early Pleistocene Guadix-Baza Basin

<p>Following a methodology based on fossil material, paleogeographic data and paleoclimate calculations allows generating maps of the Early Pleistocene vegetation units of Guadix-Baza Basin for both glacial and interglacial scenarios.</p> <p>The resulting vegetation maps represent a great diversity of vegetation types in the Guadix-Baza Basin, with seven different units which change their distribution according to climatic changes, i.e., dry (glacial) and humid (interglacial) periods. During dry periods the dominant vegetation type is the steppe, with Mediterranean woodlands and deciduous and conifer forests largely reduced and restricted to valleys or mountainous areas. During humid periods, the steppes are replaced by open Mediterranean woodlands, while deciduous and conifer forests occupy larger areas in the mountain ranges.</p> <p>For additional information check the publication: Altolaguirre, Y., Schulz, M., Gibert, L., Bruch, A.A., 2021.&nbsp;Mapping Early Pleistocene environments and the availability of plant food as a potential driver of early <em>Homo</em> presence in the Guadix-Baza Basin (Spain).

Plant Survey of Current Vegetation: MAP OF SONORAN DESERT PLANT COMMUNITY DISTRIBUTION IN THE CAPLTER STUDY AREA, PHOENIX, ARIZONA

This study represents an effort to map the distribution of plant community types across the Central Arizona - Phoenix Long Term Ecological Research (CAP-LTER) site centered in metropolitan Phoenix using Landsat ETM data. Vegetation classification was carried out using field data collected from within the study area describing woody plant species. A system was devised which represented a compromise between providing floristic information and enabling maximum spectral discrimination between community types. Image classification used reference spectra derived from training sites in the field and was carried out on subsets defined by soil surface texture in order to control for the strong background soil signature inherent to arid regions. While groundtruthing revealed that vegetation on clayey soils was mapped to 91% accuracy, other sections produced maps with less accuracy. The results of this study demonstrate that image classification of desert vegetation using only Landsat ETM data is problematic and may not be practical without other supporting data, such as radar imaging.This project attempts to produce a vegetation distribution map across undeveloped parcels of outlying desert wilderness, as well as remnant mountain parks throughout the city, contained within the Central Arizona Phoenix Long Term Ecological Research (CAPLTER) study area. This effort seeks to create the first successful classification map of Sonoran Desert vegetation derived from satellite imagery. The map would also be the first fine-scale map of plant community types in the Phoenix region. The depiction would allow for a calculation of the land area covered by each vegetation class, and which communities are exposed to development pressures. This map potentially provides a basis from which researchers can measure vegetative biomass distribution across the landscape and attempt to incorporate this component into ecological models of energy flows and biogeochemical cycling in the CAP-LTER site.

Map of the Vegetation of the Natural Reserve of Monte Catillo (central Italy)

<p><strong>Map of the Vegetation of the Natural Reserve of Monte Catillo (central Italy)</strong></p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><strong>Authors:</strong></p> <p>Sabina Burrascano, Lorenzo Caucci, Giulio Ferrante&nbsp;</p> <p>Department of Environmental Biology, Sapienza University of Rome</p> <p>Maria Vinci&nbsp;</p> <p>Citt&agrave; metropolitana di Roma Capitale</p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><strong>Reference system:</strong> EPSG 3004 - Monte Mario / Italy zone 2</p> <p><strong>Spatial scale: </strong>the map was drawn at 1:2,000</p> <p><strong>Minimum Mapping Unit:</strong> 0.2 hectares</p> <p><strong>Provided styles:</strong> use "Carta_vegetazione_aprile2024.qml" for Italian legend; or "Carta_veg_ENG.qml" for English legend</p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>Vegetation maps has the purpose of assessing and representing the distribution and extension of the types of vegetation of an area, after investigating it through field surveys, both physiognomic (annotation of the dominant species) and floristic-vegetational (complete censuses of all vascular plant species). Vegetation maps have gained a major role in the Geographical Information Systems of national and local administrations, especially in protected areas, due to their usefulness as tools for environmental monitoring, management and territorial planning.</p> <p>The collaboration between the Metropolitan City of Rome Capital and the Department of Environmental Biology of Sapienza University of Rome has led, among other results, to the creation of a novel map of the vegetation of the Monte Catillo Natural Reserve, updating the pre-existing one which dates back to 20051. The new map was created at a spatial scale of 1:2,000 based on both orthophotos, i.e. aerial photos taken in 2014, and satellite images taken in 2022 and 2023. The minimum mapping unit was set at 0.2 hectares.</p> <p>A EUNIS code was assigned to each type of vegetation based on the correspondence between field observations and the habitat descriptions reported in the EUNIS database.&nbsp;</p> <p>EUNIS (European Nature Information System) is a classification system developed by the European Environmental Agency for the description and categorization of habitat types in Europe to facilitate the exchange of information between European countries and improve the management and conservation of biodiversity at the continental level.</p> <p>The EUNIS system is used to classify natural, semi-natural and artificial habitats, as well as species and habitat types of importance for biodiversity conservation. It follows a hierarchical scheme that allows different levels of detail to be applied to each habitat based on the degree of correspondence between what was detected in the field and what is described in the classification. For example, a Mediterranean scrub habitat dominated by Pistacia lentiscus and Phyllyrea sp. could be classified as follows:</p> <p>Level 1: S - Heaths, scrub and tundra;</p> <p>Level 2: S5 - Maquis, shrub matorral and thermo-Mediterranean maquis;</p> <p>Level 3: S51 - Mediterranean scrub and shrubby matorral;</p> <p>Level 4: S512 - Shrubby matorral of Olea europaea and Pistacia lentiscus;</p> <p>Level 5: S5123 - Pistacia lentiscus and Phillyrea shrub matorral.</p> <p>If the species composition detected in the field does not reflect any of the features described at level 5, the habitat will be reported with a level 4 and so on.</p> <p>Due to the biogeographical peculiarities of the Monte Catillo Natural Reserve, a lack of correspondence was found for several vegetation types occurring within the Reserve. For example, no code has been found in the EUNIS system that identifies the cork oak (Quercus suber) forest with Styrax officinalis understorey. The same was true for the pseudomaquis vegetation for which the most detailed code indicates strictly Balkan species not present in Italy.</p> <p>The map was developed in a GIS (Geographic Information System) environment, and allows the extraction and analysis of quantitative data, such as the extension of the main types of vegetation which can thus be monitored over time even in response to specific disturbances such as intense fires that periodically affect the Reserve.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>References</strong></p> <p>1.

A probabilistic map of Costa Rican peatlands based on vegetation, ecosystem, and soil inventories

<p>There are the GIS files that accompany a peer-reviewed article.</p> <p>This is the first published effort aimed at developing a peatland map for Costa Rica. A probabilistic approach using vegetation, ecosystem, and soil datasets was used to predict the distribution and extent of peatlands below 700 m in elevation. High-elevation sites found in the Talamanca Mountains were visually identified using satellite imagery; those peatlands are small in size (&lt; 0.05 km<sup>2</sup>). Our analysis produced an estimated low-elevation peatland extent of 1433 km<sup>2</sup> and a high-elevation peatland extent of 23.08 km<sup>2</sup>, yielding an estimated total extent of 1456 km<sup>2</sup> for Costa Rica. This figure is in line with previously published extent estimates for this country (577-2670 km<sup>2</sup>).&nbsp;As for all maps, we stress that the accuracy of this product is ultimately limited by data availability and quality, as well as ground-referencing information. Still, the new map can provide guidance for land management, policymaking, and future science endeavors.</p>
