The need for detailed land cover information to characterize environmental phenomena is frequently met by the National Land Cover Database (NLCD). The NLCD aggregates landscape features by assigning land cover values to 30x30m pixels. Population abundance estimations of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) frequently include habitat information derived from the NLCD. Suburban landscapes in New York, Ohio, and Virginia were examined using classified data with two different pixel sizes (30m and 1m) to determine if spatial resolution influences detection and quantification of tree patches. The results of this study indicate that pixel size can significantly impact representation of tree cover at various extents. When represented using high resolution maps, tree-covered patches were smaller, denser, and more variable in size, shape, and configuration compared to the NLCD. The classified high resolution maps showed 70--96% more tree cover than the NLCD, which can impact inferences pertaining to white-tailed deer habitat analysis.
