Title
Riparia Land Cover - Forest vs. Non-Forest reclassification 2005 [Pennsylvania] {2005}
Description
This layer was created to facilitate ecological understanding by reclassifying the base PAMAP2005 land cover layer which was based on satellite imagery collected in the early 2000s. To better understand ecology condition using satellite collected land cover data it is often beneficial to focus on more specific land cover types. This layer groups all the forest classes into one forest class while grouping agriculture, urban and suburban classes into a non-forest class. This allows condition to be assessed using metrics, such as those tabulated using GIS tools found in Fragstats (McGarigal & Marks, 1995), to be consistently calculated within ecological units like watersheds and political units like counties. The resulting raster format layer has three classes: Forest, Not Forest and Water.
