This dataset provides an estimate of 2015 cheatgrass percent cover in the northern Great Basin at 250 meter spatial resolution. The dataset was generated by integrating eMODIS NDVI satellite data with independent variables that influence cheatgrass germination and growth into a regression-tree model. Individual pixel values range from 0 to 100 with an overall mean value of 9.85 and a standard deviation of 12.78. A mask covers areas not classified as shrub/scrub or grass/herbaceous by the 2001 National Land Cover Database. The mask also covers areas higher than 2000 meters in elevation because cheatgrass is unlikely to exist at more than 2% cover above this threshold. Cheatgrass is an invasive grass that has invaded...

Color infrared aerial photography (1:15,860) taken in August of 1997 was used as the starting point for the 1997 NPS Vegetation Survey. The final vegetation map was derived through a coordinated process of photo-interpretation, field reconnaissance, plot sampling, verification, and accuracy assessment (Aerial Information Systems 2007). The minimum mapping unit area was 0.5 hectare. A crosswalk from the original vegetation classes used in the survey to the WHR classes was developed by Bill Kuhn (NPS), in consultation with Dr. Jan van Wagtendonk (USGS) and Dr. James Thorne (U.C. Davis).
