Summary

This dataset includes the cover of leguminous trees (Prosopis velutina, Parkinsonia microphylla, Parkinsonia florida) in 1989, 1995, 1999, 2005, and 2009 across southern Arizona. Cover was determined using sub-pixel classifications of two Landsat scenes from path 36, row 38 (centered on latitude: 31.7470, longitude: -111.3981) and path 37, row 38 (31.7470, -112.9431) that encompass Tucson, AZ.

Purpose

The primary objectives of the collected data were to: 1) determine where dominant woody plant species and perennial grasses have increased or decreased from 1989 - 2009, and to 2) define the climate, soils, and topographic drivers of these changes.
