GNN Download

Introduction

The gradient nearest neighbor (GNN) data are multivariate, imputed maps of forest attributes based on 30-m Landsat imagery, Forest Inventory and Analysis data, and other geospatial data products, such as climate and topography. These maps provide a valuable source of data for landscape analysis. This website is the primary method for disseminating these data, accuracy assessment reports, and other information needed for interpretation and application of GNN maps.

GNN maps are the product of the Landscape Ecology Modeling, Mapping & Analysis (LEMMA) group, an inter-institutional research team led by USFS Pacific Northwest Research Station and Oregon State University. Additional support and collaboration has been provided by USFS Rocky Mountain Research Station, USFS Pacific Northwest Region, and the USFS Forest Inventory and Analysis Program.
