The purpose of the Cooperative Land Cover Map is to fill a priority data gap of Florida's State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP) for improved habitat mapping. In addition it provides significantly improved data for scrub and sandhill, priority habitats of the SWAP. The map will inform a variety of conservation and management activities in Florida. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The Cooperative Land Cover Map is a project to develop an improved statewide land cover map from existing sources and expert review of aerial photography. The project is directly tied to a goal of Florida's State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP) to represent Florida's diverse habitats in a spatially-explicit manner.</SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 7 0;"><SPAN>Changes from Version 2.3 to 3.0: All land classes underwent revisions to correct boundaries, mislabeled classes, and hard edges between classes. Vector data was compared against high resolution Digital Ortho Quarter Quads (DOQQ) and Google Earth imagery. Individual land cover classes were converted to .KML format for use in Google Earth. Errors identified through visual review were manually corrected.</SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN /></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN>Statewide medium resolution (spatial resolution of 10 m) SPOT 5 images were available for remote sensing classification with the following spectral bands: near infrared, red, green and short wave infrared. The acquisition dates of SPOT images ranged between October, 2005 and October, 2010. Remote sensing classification was performed in Idrisi Taiga and Erdas Imagine.</SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN /></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Supervised and unsupervised classifications of each SPOT image were performed with the corrected polygon data as a guide. Further visual inspections of classified areas were conducted for consistency, errors, and edge matching between image footprints. </SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 7 0;"><SPAN>CLC v3.0 now includes state wide Florida NAVTEQ transportation data. </SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 7 0;"><SPAN>CLC v3.0 incorporates extensive revisions to scrub, scrubby flatwoods, mesic flatwoods, and upland pine classes. </SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 7 0;"><SPAN>An additional class, scrub mangrove – 5252, was added to the crosswalk. Mangrove swamp was reviewed and reclassified to include areas of scrub mangrove.</SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 7 0;"><SPAN>CLC v3.0 also includes additional revisions to sand beach, riverine sand bar, and beach dune previously misclassified as high intensity urban or extractive.</SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 7 0;"><SPAN>CLC v3.0 excludes the Dry Tortugas and also does not include some of the small keys between Key West and Marquesas.</SPAN></P><P /><P><SPAN /></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
