description: | Canopy cover is the percentage “of forest floor covered by the vertical projection of the tree crowns.” Cover is measured vertically with a very narrow angle of view that approaches a point and indicates how much of the forest floor is vertically overtopped with canopy. Canopy cover is often cited as an important habitat feature for a number of sensitive species associated with old-forest conditions in the Sierra Nevada and is used in determining California Wildlife Habitat Relationship (CWHR) habitat types.----------------This raster has been modified from the base 30m version in the following ways:-------- - It has been aggregated from a 30m to a 300m scale by averaging across the 30m values-------- - The normalized values are rescaled based on the full range of potential values, with -1 representing low values, and 1 representing high values. This interpretation simply reflects the range of values, without any particular value for open versus closed conditions.----------------- Unit Of Measure: Percent |
