Description :
This paper presents a new classification of U.S. land cover based on AVHRR data. One hundred fifty-nine seasonal land-cover regions are described and mapped according to their vegetative composition, phenology (onset, peak, and length of green period), relative productivity, and other landscape parameters. The scales of the maps are 1:7,500,000, 1:10,000,000, 1:20,000,000 and 1:63,000,000.
