| Description: |
These datasets presents the yearly maps and averages of the start of vegetation active period in both coniferous forests and deciduous vegetation during 2001-2019 in Finland. The start of the vegetation active period is defined as the day when coniferous trees start to photosynthesize and for deciduous vegetation as the day when trees unfold new leaves in spring. The datasets were derived from satellite observations of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). |

| Description: | The data set consists of yearly maps of the start of the vegetation active period (VAP) in coniferous forest (Day of Year), which is defined as the day when coniferous trees start to photosynthesize in spring. The data set was derived from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spetroradiometer (MODIS) satellite observation of Fractional Snow Cover. The day when snow cover decreases during spring melt was used as a proxy indicator for the beginning of the start of the vegetation active period. |

| Name: | Phenology Deciduous |
| Description: | The data set consists of yearly maps of the start of the vegetation active period (VAP) in deciduous vegetation (Day of Year), which is defined as the day when deciduous trees unfold new leaves in spring. It is also often referred to as the green-up or greening day. The data set was derived from time series of the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) calculated from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spetroradiometer (MODIS) satellite observation. |
