Summary

This tabular data set represents the percent of NLCD 2011 land cover classes in the 50 meter riparian buffer zones compiled for two spatial components of the NHDPlus version 2 data suite (NHDPlusv2) for the conterminous United States; 1) individual reach catchments and 2) reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river network. This dataset can be linked to the NHDPlus version 2 data suite by the unique identifier COMID. The source data is the "National Land Cover Database 2011" produced by the United States Geological Survey (Homer and others, 2011). Units are percent. Reach catchment information characterizes data at the local scale. Reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river network characterizes cumulative [...]

Purpose

This data set was created by the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) National Water-Quality Assessment Project (NAWQA) which is part of the USGS National Water Quality Program (NWQP). This effort was undertaken to estimate the percent of NLCD 2011 land cover classes in the 50 meter riparian buffer for NHDPlusV2 flowline catchments and upstream river networks to support statistical analysis, map display, and model parameterization.
