Details on Vegetation Data Set (1992)
- Full Title : National Wetlands Research Center, Vegetation Data for St. Vincent National Wildlife Refuge, Apalachicola, Florida, USA, in 1992.
- Summary Information
: More detailed information is in the metadata file, and
in accessory file listing classification scheme of data. Basic details
are:
- Geographic area is Gulf of Mexico coastal areas in association with the St. Vincent National Wildlife Refuge, Apalachicola, Florida, USA, consisting of 4 standard USGS 7.5 min (1:24,000 scale) map areas. Coverage area is only of the vegetation data for the Pig Island Unit and St. Vincent Island Unit shown in the graphic above.
- Subject is vegetative data, consisting of classified wetlands completed utilizing a specific landcover classification scheme focusing on vegetation communities developed specifically for the St. Vincent Wildlife Refuge Project. Data was prepared primarily using stereoscopic analysis of high altitude aerial photography, and wetlands were classified according to a project specific classification scheme developed under a USFWS-USGS Research Partnership Program Project.
- Date is 1992, but varies within that year based on source photography used in data development.
- Format is vector type data from Arc/Info GIS software, in polygon and line topology.
- Digital data size for all the 1992 data is 3.90 megabytes for 6 files. Note: these are compressed format files (in Arc/Info export file (.e00) compression format) which are 20 to 50 percent of final size per area.
