Typical phenology of deciduous forests derived with PROBA-V data time-series

Details

This dataset provides information on the average per-pixel phenology of deciduous forests. It maps the Start of Season (SoS), Mid of Season (MoS) and End of Season (EoS), which is through a threshold method applied over a time-series of intra and inter-annual Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). The NDVI time-series was measured with the PROBA-V between 1999 and 2017.
