Year 2019 General Luna, Surigao del Norte ITP and Tree Farms Locations and Extents

This dataset consists of zipped GIS shapefile and maps of Falcata Industrial Tree Plantations (ITP) and tree farm locations and extents in General Luna, Surigao del Norte, Caraga Region, Mindanao, Philippines for the year 2019.

The locations and extents contained by the GIS shapefiles and shown in the maps were derived through analysis of year 2019-2020 satellite remote sensing images, particularly Sentinel-2 and high-resolution Google Earth images, at a spatial resolution of 10 meters.

The dataset was generated by "Project 1. Development of Geodatabase of Industrial Tree Plantations in Caraga Region Using Remote Sensing and GIS", Industrial Tree Plantation Research and Innovation Center in collaboration with the Caraga Center for Geo-Informatics, Caraga State University, Butuan City.
