ORNL DAAC Data Release - WDTS: AVIRIS-Classic Derived Plant Trait Mosaics, 2013-2018
Posted: Fri Jul 25, 2025 1:07 pm America/New_York
ORNL DAAC recently released a new dataset by Zheng, T. et al (2025):
WDTS: AVIRIS-Classic Derived Plant Trait Mosaics, 2013-2018
This dataset holds maps of 14 foliar functional traits derived from AVIRIS-Classic imagery over the western United States for the Western Diversity Time Series (WDTS) project.
Figure 1. LMA-NSC-Nitrogen composites across WDTS flight boxes. (A) Conifer forests and regenerating clear cuts in the northern Sierra Nevada mountains. (B) Yosemite Valley and Merced River riparian vegetation. (C) Agriculture in the central valley. (D) The San Gabriel Mountains and urban vegetation in Los Angeles County. LMA = leaf mass per area. NSC = nonstructural carbohydrates. Flight boxes shown: yosemite_20140603, socal_20140414, tahoe_20140602, santabarbara_20140606, bayarea_20140528, sodastraw_20131117.
