NPS GNLCC Conservation Status

NPScape conservation status metrics are calculated using data from the USGS Gap Analysis Program (PAD-US), World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA), and National Marine Protected Areas Center (MPA). Metric GIS datasets are produced seamlessly for the United States (Lower 48, Alaska, Hawaiian Islands, Guam/American Samoa, Puerto Rico/US Virgin Islands), Canada, and Mexico, although both geographic coverage and resolution vary by source dataset. The methods underlying these calculations are available for download through the NPScape website: http://science.nature.nps.gov/im/monitor/npscape/methods.cfm. This record provides default metadata for metric GIS data developed and distributed by NPScape. More information...

NPS GNLCC Land cover data

NPScape land cover metrics are calculated using data from the National Land Cover Database (NLCD), NOAA Coastal Change Analysis Program (CCAP), and the North American Land Change Monitoring System (NALC). Metric GIS datasets are produced seamlessly for the United States (Lower 48, Alaska, Hawaiian Islands, Guam/American Samoa, Puerto Rico/US Virgin Islands), Canada, and Mexico, although both geographic coverage and resolution vary by source dataset. The methods underlying these calculations are available for download through the NPScape website: http://science.nature.nps.gov/im/monitor/npscape/methods.cfm.

NPS Great Northern Landscape Pattern

NPScape landscape pattern metrics are calculated for particular land cover types using NPScape land cover metric GIS data. The methods underlying these calculations are available for download through the NPScape website: http://science.nature.nps.gov/im/monitor/npscape/methods.cfm. This record provides default metadata for metric GIS data developed and distributed by NPScape. More information and updates are available through the NPScape website: http://science.nature.nps.gov/im/monitor/npscape/.
