These datasets consist of tree canopy change metrics summarized using various geographies. The metrics presented in these tables are based on 2019 leaf-on LiDAR, 2019 high resolution land cover, and the high resolution 2019 tree canopy layer (Tree Canopy Change 2014-2019.tif). The Tree Canopy Change Assessment is a top-down approach to analyzing forest change for over the period of 2014 and 2019. Its purpose is to integrate high resolution land cover data with other GIS datasets to produce a set of detailed metrics on the forest that allow decision makers to know how much tree canopy was gained (termed Gain), how much tree canopy was lost (termed Loss), and how much tree canopy did not change over the given time period (termed No_Change). Existing TC is determined by extracting all features classified as tree canopy from a high resolution land cover dataset. The area in which there has been a change in tree canopy (termed Change_Are) is calculated using the TreeCano_1 (2019) subtracted by the TreeCanopy (2014), if this value is negative then this represents a loss in tree canopy over the time frame given. The percent of tree canopy change (termed Change_P1) is calculated using TreeCano_3 (2019) subtracted by TreeCano_2 (2014), if this value is negative then this represents a loss in tree canopy over the time frame given. </span></p><p style="background-color:#ffffff; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; padding:0pt 0pt 5pt 0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt; font-family:Lora,serif; color:#4c4c4c; background-color:transparent; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; text-decoration:none;">LandArea= Area excluding water bodies</span></p><p style="background-color:#ffffff; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; padding:0pt 0pt 5pt 0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt; font-family:Lora,serif; color:#4c4c4c; background-color:transparent; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; text-decoration:none;">Gain= Area of canopy gain between the two years</span></p><p style="background-color:#ffffff; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; padding:0pt 0pt 5pt 0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt; font-family:Lora,serif; color:#4c4c4c; background-color:transparent; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; text-decoration:none;">Loss= Area of canopy loss between the two years</span></p><p style="background-color:#ffffff; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; padding:0pt 0pt 5pt 0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt; font-family:Lora,serif; color:#4c4c4c; background-color:transparent; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; text-decoration:none;">No_Change= Area of no canopy change between the two years</span></p><p style="background-color:#ffffff; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; padding:0pt 0pt 5pt 0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt; font-family:Lora,serif; color:#4c4c4c; background-color:transparent; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; text-decoration:none;">TreeCanopy= 2014 total canopy area (baseline)</span></p><p style="background-color:#ffffff; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; padding:0pt 0pt 5pt 0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt; font-family:Lora,serif; color:#4c4c4c; background-color:transparent; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; text-decoration:none;">TreeCano_1 = 2019 total canopy area</span></p><p style="background-color:#ffffff; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; padding:0pt 0pt 5pt 0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt; font-family:Lora,serif; color:#4c4c4c; background-color:transparent; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; text-decoration:none;">Change_Are= The change in area of tree canopy between the two years</span></p><p style="background-color:#ffffff; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; padding:0pt 0pt 5pt 0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt; font-family:Lora,serif; color:#4c4c4c; background-color:transparent; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; text-decoration:none;">Change_Per= Relative change calculation used in economics is the gain or loss of tree canopy relative to the earlier time period: (2019 Canopy-2014 Canopy)/(2014 Canopy)</span></p><p style="background-color:#ffffff; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; padding:0pt 0pt 5pt 0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt; font-family:Lora,serif; color:#4c4c4c; background-color:transparent; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; text-decoration:none;">TreeCano_2 = 2014 canopy percentage</span></p><p style="background-color:#ffffff; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; padding:0pt 0pt 5pt 0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt; font-family:Lora,serif; color:#4c4c4c; background-color:transparent; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; text-decoration:none;">TreeCano_3= 2019 canopy percentage</span></p><p style="background-color:#ffffff; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:5pt; padding:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;"><span style="background-color:transparent; font-family:Lora, serif; font-size:11pt;">Change_P_1= Absolute change.
