Greater Kruger National Park, GEDI Canopy Metrics, 2007-2024
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR and NASA Data Portal — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.3334/ornldaac/2401
This dataset contains vegetation canopy metrics for the Greater Kruger National Park region of South Africa for 2007-2010 and 2015-2024.
Description
Metrics include relative height 98th percentile (RH98), fractional canopy cover, and foliage height diversity. This dataset contains vegetation canopy metrics for the Greater Kruger National Park region of South Africa.
Metrics include relative height 98th percentile (RH98), fractional canopy cover, and foliage height diversity. They were derived by modeling a sample of Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) Level 2A Elevation and Height Metrics and Level 2B Canopy Cover and Vertical Profile Metrics at the 25-m footprint level with wall-to-wall spatial datasets including Landsat, PALSAR, topography derived from NASADEM, and soils data from iSDAsoil.

Maps for 2023 and 2024 were created by applying the model trained from 2007-2022 data to PALSAR and Landsat data for 2023 and 2024. The data are suitable for analyzing change in woody canopy structure within the savanna ecosystems of this region. The data are provided in cloud optimized GeoTIFF format.
