AbstractNational Land Cover Database Land Cover Change from 2006 to 2011, produced by MRLC (Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics Consortium). Layer contains only those pixels identified as changed between NLCD 2006 Land Cover 2011 Edition and NLCD2011 Land Cover products, and these pixels are labeled with the 2011 land cover class. NLCD is based primarily on a decision-tree classification of Landsat satellite data.

Full metadata are included in the nlcd0611.img.xml file located in the same path as the maintenance format file.

The release in 2014 of amended versions of land cover for 2001, 2006, and 2011 was made to correct for unintended differences between the impervious dataset and the four land cover developed classes.
