Vegetation Mapping Fractions


This Page Contains Mapping Fractions In The Following Order:

1. IGBP --> UMD
2. SiB --> UMD
3. BATS --> UMD
4. NCAR LSM --> UMD
5. Mosaic --> UMD
6. SiB2 --> UMD


The IGBP, SiB, SiB2 and BATS mapping fractions were derived using the process described on the mapping page . The mapping fractions for the Mosaic and NCAR LSM schemes are based in part on the mapping fractions of the other schemes. However, as 1km vegetation distribution files were not available for the Mosaic and NCAR LSM schemes, these mapping fractions include a higher degree of subjectivity than do those of the other schemes.
