This is a land cover dataset developed by Florida Natural Areas Inventory for coastal conservation planning purposes. It is derived from two primary sources: 1) The Florida Cooperative Land Cover Map(CLC), v.2, a hybrid land cover that combines best available statewide and local land cover data sources; and 2) a revision of the CLC based on review of 2009 – 2011 high resolution aerial photography for a subset of remaining natural uplands that correspond to areas identified in the Assessment of Florida’s Remaining Coastal Upland Natural Communities (Johnson and Gulledge 2005). All data were clipped to a coastal analysis zone defined as 3 m elevation plus 1 kmbuffer. The classification scheme is a modified version...

This dataset represents the suitability of various potential corridors between habitat heterogeneity sources and habitat heterogeneity refuges. (See datasets FL_HabHetSources_FNAI and FL_HabHetRefuges_FNAI.) It divides these potential corridors into 20 quantiles (of roughly equal area), where quantile 1 contains the most suitable corridors and quantile 20 the least suitable corridors. For this project, corridor suitability was based on cost distance from sources and refuges; these cost distances were in turn based on euclidean distance, elevation, land use intensity, and habitat heterogeneity.

This dataset represents areas of high habitat heterogeneity within the Re-evaluating Florida's Ecological Conservation Priorities in the Face of Sea Level Rise project study area. Features in this dataset are those portions of the project study area where more than 6 unique natural land cover classes exist within a 25 hectare window. These features were identified through a focal statistics raster analysis of the FL_LandCoverCoastal_FNAI dataset within a coastal analysis zone defined as areas in Florida of equal to or less than 3 meters elevation plus a 1 kilometer buffer. The features in this dataset are considered "sources" because they contain areas of less than 1 meter and do not intersect areas of equal to...

ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
