Description This dataset contains yearly fractional tree canopy cover (FTCC, %) data at 20 meter spatial resolution from 2016 to 2022 for Murray-Darling Basin wetlands. A machine learning model was created to predict FTCC using optical and radar satellite. This model was subjected to validation using tree canopy cover data extracted from LiDAR data. The model achieved a remarkable 85% explanatory capacity regarding FTCC variations, with an associated error rate of 8%.

The fine-scale FTCC will be of value to catchment management concerns such as altered catchment water yields related to bushfires.
