Title
Riparia Land Cover - Full Land Cover classification 1992 [Pennsylvania] {1992}
Description
Originally created for the Pennsylvania Gap Project (Myers et al., 2000) land cover classification and interpretation was completed specifically for Pennsylvania to facilitate potential habitat modeling for all vertebrate species reported to breed within Pennsylvania following a modified Anderson Level 2 system (Anderson et al., 1976). The "Stratification" was our attempt to further classify suburban and urban areas by delineating based on urban reflectance from satellite imagery and road pattern from PennDOT roads (1994). The result allowed us to identify modified land covers such as forested or herbaceous suburban and forested or herbaceous urban hoping to use these to better capture areas as wildlife habitat for more generalist species.
