Two fractional cover decile products, green cover and total cover, are currently produced from the historical timeseries of seasonal fractional cover images. These products compare, at the per-pixel level, the level of cover for the specific season of interest against the long term cover for that same season. For each pixel, all cover values for the relevant seasons within a baseline period (1988 to 2013) are classified into deciles. The cover value for the pixel in the season of interest is then classified according to the decile in which it falls.

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. A 3 band (byte) image is produced: band 1 – bare ground fraction (in percent), band 2 - green vegetation fraction (in percent), band 3 – non-green vegetation fraction (in percent). The no data value is 255.

The seasonal fractional ground cover product is a spatially explicit raster product that shows the proportion of bare ground, green and non-green ground cover at medium resolution (30 m per-pixel) for each 3-month calendar season for Australia from 1989 - present. It is derived directly from the seasonal fractional cover product, also produced by Queensland's Remote Sensing Centre.A 3 band (byte) image is produced:band 1 - bare ground fraction (in percent),band 2 - green vegetation fraction (in percent),band 3 - non-green vegetation fraction (in percent).The no data value is 255. The seasonal fractional cover product predicts vegetation cover, but 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.

The seasonal fractional cover product shows representative values for the proportion of bare, green and non-green cover, created from a time series of Sentinel-2 imagery. It is a spatially explicit raster product, which predicts vegetation cover at medium resolution (10 m per-pixel) for each 3-month calendar season across Eastern and Central Australia from 2016 to present. The green and non-green fractions may include a mix of woody and non-woody vegetation. This model was originally developed for Landsat imagery, but has been adapted for Sentinel-2 imagery to produce a 10 m resolution equivalent product. A 3 band (byte) image is produced: band 1 - bare ground fraction (in percent), band 2 - green vegetation fraction (in percent), band 3 - non-green vegetation fraction (in percent).

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. A 3 band (byte) image is produced: band 1 - bare ground fraction (in percent), band 2 - green vegetation fraction (in percent), band 3 - non-green vegetation fraction (in percent). The no data value is 255.
