Description
FOR non-AGOL ACCOUNT HOLDERS, DOWNLOAD THIS GEOSPATIAL DATA HERE:https://gis-fws.opendata.arcgis.com/search?tags=lmvjvThis product is intended as a necessary foundation for secretive marsh bird (e.g., King Rail) and wading bird conservation planning, but also will be useful for landscape-scale planning for other emergent wetland dependent wildlife (e.g., waterfowl, shorebirds, some songbirds).Without reasonably accurate GIS data layers, it is difficult to generate the desired species-habitat models for waterbirds in the LMVJV. The target habitat for this project was Palustrine Emergent Wetland, as defined by a modified Cowardin et al (1979) definition with minimal woody vegetation and open water: Erect, rooted, herbaceous hydrophytes, with <10% woody vegetation cover and <10% open water.The final classification resulted in 729,884 acres of emergent wetland across the geography of the MAV and WGCPO. Data available for download includes only emergent wetland patches greater than or equal to 25 acres.
