Landsat-derived wintertime greenness datasets and results from cover crop performance analysis within the Tuckahoe Creek watershed, Maryland, from 1984 to 2017.

Description

This metadata record documents data files, an analysis script, and results from a land-surface greenness analysis of the Tuckahoe Creek watershed, covering parts of Caroline, Queen Anne's and Talbot Counties in Maryland from 1984 to 2017. Included in this record are: 1) 34 raster datasets containing maximum wintertime greenness values on an annual basis from 1984 to 2017, 2) a script used in Google Earth Engine to create the raster datasets, 3) tabular output from vegetation biomass analysis for 1984 to 2017 using a composite cropland layer, 4) a raster of the composite cropland layer, 5) tabular output from vegetation biomass analysis by preceding summer crop type for 2008 to 2017 using year-specific annual cropland data layers, and 6) tabular data of winter cover crop enrollment in the Maryland Agricultural Cost-Share program within the Tuckahoe Creek watershed for available years from 2008 to 2017.
