The Sentinel-2 seasonal fractional ground cover product shows the proportion of bare ground, green and non-green ground cover and is derived directly from the Sentinel-2 seasonal fractional cover product, also produced by Queensland's Remote Sensing Centre. The seasonal fractional cover product is a spatially explicit raster product, which predicts vegetation cover at medium resolution (10 m per-pixel) for each 3-month calendar season. However, the seasonal fractional cover product does not distinguish tree and mid-level woody foliage and branch cover from green and dry ground cover. As a result, in areas with even minimal tree cover (>15%), estimates of ground cover become uncertain. With the development of the fractional cover time-series, it has become possible to derive an estimate of ‘persistent green’ based on time-series analysis. The persistent green vegetation product provides an estimate of the vertically-projected green-vegetation fraction where vegetation is deemed to persist over time. These areas are nominally woody vegetation. This separation of the 'persistent green' from the fractional cover product, allows for the adjustment of the underlying spectral signature of the fractional cover image and the creation of a resulting 'true' ground cover estimate for each season. The estimates of cover are restricted to areas of <60% woody vegetation. Currently, the persistent green product has only been produced at 30 m pixel resolution based on Landsat imagery, resulting in this Sentinel-2 seasonal ground cover product having a medium 30 m pixel resolution also. This is an experimental product which has not been fully validated. This product is similar to the <a href="https://portal.tern.org.au/metadata/23884 ">Seasonal ground cover - Landsat, JRSRP algorithm Version 3.0, Australia Coverage</a> which is based on a different satellite sensor.

<p>The seasonal fractional cover product shows representative values for the proportion of bare, green and non-green cover across a season. It is a spatially explicit raster product that predicts vegetation cover at medium resolution (30 m per-pixel) for each 3-month calendar season across Australia from 1987 to the present. The green and non-green fractions may include a mix of woody and non-woody vegetation. </p> <p>A 3 band (byte) image is produced:</p> <p>band 1 – bare ground fraction (in percent),</p> <p>band 2 - green vegetation fraction (in percent),</p> <p>band 3 – non-green vegetation fraction (in percent).</p> <p>The no data value is 255.</p>

The monthly fractional cover product shows representative values for the proportion of bare ground, green and non-green ground cover for Queensland, Australia, from 2015 - present on a monthly basis. It is a spatially explicit raster product, which predicts vegetation cover at medium resolution (30 m per-pixel). This dataset consists of medoid-composited monthly fractional cover created from a combined Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2 time series.<br> A 3 band (byte) image is produced:<br> band 1 - bare ground fraction (in percent),<br> band 2 - green vegetation fraction (in percent),<br> band 3 - non-green vegetation fraction (in percent).<br> The no data value is 255.

This product has been superseded and will not be processed from early 2023. Please find the updated version 3 of this product at https://portal.tern.org.au/metadata/24071. Long term temporal statistic products derived from the seasonal ground cover product for each fraction. Statistics include: 5th percentile minimum, mean, median, 95th percentile maximum, standard deviation and observation count. There is one raster image for each season and each bare and green fraction for the full time series of imagery available. Min/max (5th and 95th percentile) products are also made for each fraction using all seasonal ground cover images available.
