Statewide Landcover And Trees Study (SLATS)...

The Statewide Landcover And Trees Study (SLATS) is a scientific monitoring program which monitors, maps and reports on woody vegetation change in Queensland. Since the 1990's and up to the 2017-18 reporting period, SLATS has been monitoring woody vegetation loss due to land clearing, applying a methodology which used Landsat satellite imagery. From 2018 onwards, woody vegetation clearing is mapped using Sentinel-2 imagery. From 2020 onwards, woody vegetation regrowth is mapped and included in this SLATS woody vegetation change product. This dataset shows woody vegetation clearing detected in the 2021-22 monitoring period (nominally August 2021 to August 2022). Woody vegetation regrowth which is not already incorporated into the Woody vegetation extent dataset, and is identifiable from Sentinel-2 imagery up to Aug 2022 is included.
