Publisher-reported update

2026-09-09

This data publication contains a set of 30-m resolution raster files representing annual (1985–2025) wall-to-wall maps of fractional landcover across Canada originally described in (Guindon et al., 2026a). The dataset provides pixel-level percentage estimates of water, rock, soil, burn scars, lichen, herbaceous vegetation, low shrubs, and tall shrubs, as well as broadleaf and coniferous treed crown closure layers derived from SCANFI v2. A summary discrete landcover classification layer is also provided. The Spatialized CAnadian National Forest Inventory (SCANFI) version 3 extends the existing SCANFI framework to include both treed and non-treed surface components, enabling a comprehensive vertical surface projection where all fractional cover components within each 30-m pixel sum to 100%. Relationship with SCANFI v2 SCANFI v3 is fully harmonized with the SCANFI v2 dataset (Guindon et al., 2026b) https://doi.org/10.23687/07653869-f303-46c2-a04e-9ab479b73cbf). Coniferous and broadleaf treed crown closure values are extracted directly from SCANFI v2, ensuring consistency across treed structural and species attributes. The novel non-treed fractional cover layers introduced in SCANFI…
