Mapping attributes of Canadaâs forests at moderate resolution through kNN and MODIS imagery
Canadaâs National Forest Inventory (NFI) sampling program is designed to support reporting on forests at the national scale. On the other hand, continuous maps of forest attributes are required to support strategic analyses of regional policy and management issues. We have therefore produced maps covering 4.03 à 10ⶠkm² of inventoried forest area for the 2001 base year using standardised observations from the NFI photo plots (PP) as reference data.
