- Metric Name:  Percent Canopy Cover

- Data Vintage:  2020

- Unit Of Measure: Percent

This percent canopy cover is intended to be used in combination with the fractal dimension index as a measure of fine-scale heterogeneity.- Creation Method:  The metric is derived from 3m resolution PhoDAR estimates of spring 2020 canopy height produced by Salo Sciences. Pixels with height greater than 2m were classified as canopy; pixels with height less than or equal to 2m were classified as canopy gaps.
