The 1988 Western Oregon Vegetation (WOV) Mapping Project
developed continuous estimates of several vegetation attributes
using 1988 LANDSAT Thematic Mapper data combined with ground
reference data from a variety of sources. The forest attributes
of interest were percent vegetation cover, percent conifer cover,
conifer age, and conifer size.

Description
Abstract:
This data layer provides a first level classification of land
use patterns for the study area. It can be used as a background for
the non-forest portions of the region.
Purpose:
To provide cost-effective, flexible, and seamless map products
for use in regional scale ecological assessments.
Supplemental_Information:
Procedures_Used:
Unsupervised classification, regression analysis, and applied
radiometric normalization.
