URL: https://canue.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/GFCC_User_Guide_V1.pdf
Tree canopy is defined as area of vegetation (including leaves, stems, branches, etc.) of woody plants above 5m in height. The dataset developers derived tree canopy cover estimates from the Global Forest Cover Change (GFCC) Surface Reflectance product (GFCC30SR), which is based on enhanced Global Land Survey (GLS) datasets. The GLS datasets are composed of high-resolution Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper (TM) and Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM ) images at 30 meter resolution.CANUE staff retrieved tree canopy cover data from Google Earth Engine (GEE) for the year 2010 and 2015, extracted values (percent coverage) to postal codes and calculated summary measures (average percent coverage) within buffers of 100, 250, 500, and 1000 metres.
