These data were compiled to demonstrate new predictive mapping approaches and provide comprehensive gridded 30-meter resolution soil property maps for the Colorado River Basin above Hoover Dam. Random forest models related environmental raster layers representing soil forming factors with field samples to render predictive maps that interpolate between sample locations. Maps represented soil pH, texture fractions (sand, silt clay, fine sand, very fine sand), rock, electrical conductivity (ec), gypsum, CaCO3, sodium adsorption ratio (sar), available water capacity (awc), bulk density (dbovendry), erodibility (kwfact), and organic matter (om) at 7 depths (0, 5, 15, 30, 60, 100, and 200 cm) as well as depth to restrictive layer (resdept) and surface rock size and cover. Accuracy and error estimated using a 10-fold cross validation indicated a range of model performances with coefficient of variation (R2) for models ranging from 0.20 to 0.76 with mean of 0.52 and a standard deviation of 0.12. Models of pH, om and ec had the best accuracy (R2 > 0.6). Most texture fractions, CaCO3, and SAR models had R2 values from 0.5-0.6. Models of kwfact, dbovendry, resdept, rock models, gypsum and awc had R2 values from 0.4-0.5 excepting near surface models which tended to perform better. Very fine sands and 200 cm estimates for other models generally performed poorly (R2 from 0.2-0.4), and sample size for the 200 cm models was too low for reliable model building. More than 90% of the soils data used was sampled since 2000, but some older samples are included. Uncertainty estimates were also developed by creating relative prediction intervals, which allow end users to evaluate uncertainty easily.

Parcels by ownership in Jefferson County CO

Platted parcels of the City of Aurora, Colorado. For ownership parcels, please see the county's GIS parcel data. The City of Aurora, Colorado sits in three different counties: Adams County, Arapahoe County, and Douglas County and lies just east of the City and County of Denver. The city's population was recently estimated over 400,000. Currently, the city is approximately 158 square miles and is annexing land in enclaves and to the east of the city.

Data Description

This dataset is part of a larger initiative monitoring forests in Panama using drones (unoccupied aerial vehicles), an initiative led by Dr. Helene Muller- Landau at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. As part of this initiative, we have been collecting repeat imagery of the 50-ha forest dynamics plot on Barro Colorado Island (BCI), Panama, since October 2014 (see Garcia et al. 2021a, b for data products for 2014-2019).

Contained within this dataset are two sets of field-derived crown maps, presented in both their raw and improved versions. The 2021 crown mapping campaign was overseen by KC Cushman, accompanied by field technician Pablo Ramos and Paulino Villarreal. Additionally, Cecilia Williamson and KC Cushman reviewed polygon quality and made necessary corrections. Image data occurred on August 1, 2020, utilizing a DJI Phantom 4 Pro at a resolution of 4cm per pixel. A total of 2454 polygons were manually delineated, encompassing insightful metrics like crown completeness and liana load.

The 2023 crown mapping campaign, led by Vicente Vasquez and field technicians Pablo Ramos, Paulino Villarreal, involved quality revisions and corrections performed by Luisa Fernanda Gomez Correa and Vicente Vasquez. Image data collection occurred on September 29, 2022, utilizing a DJI Phantom 4 Pro drone at a 4cm per pixel resolution. The 2023 campaign integrated model 230103_randresize_full of the detectree2 model garden (Ball, 2023). Tree crown polygons were generated pre-field visit, with those attaining a field validation score of 7 or higher retained as true tree crowns.

The data collection forms are prepared using ArcGIS field maps. The creator of the data forms uses the spatial points from the trees in the ForestGeo 50-ha censuses to facilitate finding the tree tags in the field (Condit et al., 2019). The field technicians confirm that the tree crown is visible from the drone imagery, they proceed to collect variables of interest and delineate the tree crown manually. In the case of the 2023 field campaign, the field technicians were able to skip manual delineation when the polygons generated by 230103_randresize_full were evaluated as true detection.

The improved version of the 2023 and 2021 crown map data collection takes as input the raw crown maps and the globally aligned orthomosaics to refine the edges of the crown. We use the model SAM from segment-anything module developed my Meta AI (Krillov, 2023). We adapted the use of their instance segmentation algorithm to take geospatial imagery in the form of tiles. We inputted multiple bounding boxes in the form of CPU torch tensors for each of the files. Furthermore, we perform several tasks to clean the crowns and remove the polygons overlaps to avoid ambiguity. This results in a very well delineated crown map with no overlapping between tree crowns. Despite our diligent efforts in detecting, delineating, and evaluating all visible tree crowns from drone imagery, this dataset exhibits certain limitations. These include missing tags denoted as -9999, erroneous manual delineations or instance segmentation of tree crown polygons, duplicated tags, and undetected tree crowns. These limitations are primarily attributed to human error, logistical constraints, and the challenge of confirming individual tree crown emergence above the canopy. In numerous instances, particularly within densel... Visit https://dataone.org/datasets/doi%3A10.60635%2FC3PP4J for complete metadata about this dataset.
