2010 Urban Vegetated Fraction for North America
The 2010 Urban Vegetated Fraction for North America dataset is based on Landsat observations and estimates vegetated fraction of the urbanized areas of North America through a standardized spectral mixture model applied to the Global Land Survey 2010 dataset. Since land cover change from urban to rural areas takes place through a continuum gradient information from the VIIRS Day/Night Band was used to isolate populated agglomerations.
