Overview
The SMAPVEX19-22 Massachusetts Field data (SV19MA_FOR) consists of forest tree inventory, biophysical, leaf area index (LAI), and estimated biomass data as well as photos collected between April and August 2022 in the vicinity of Petersham, Massachusetts during the SMAPVEX19-22 (Soil Moisture Active Passive Validation Experiment 2019-2022) field campaign. The location was chosen due to its forested land cover, as SMAPVEX19-22 aims to validate satellite derived soil moisture estimates in forested areas. Over 500 trees of approximately 45 different species were sampled.
