KRIS Garcia River: Meta Information Page
This page contains detailed information about a data set in KRIS, including where the original data reside and how to contact the sources for the data. Data sets are linked to the appropriate page by means of the Meta Identifier. Many data sets can be linked to same page by sharing the same Meta Identifier.

| Data Set Name | veg_usfs_garcia.dbf, veg_usfs_garcia_source.dbf, veg_usfs_rip_garcia.dbf, veg_usfs_rip_garcia_source.dbf |
| Serial Name | USFS Veg Covers |
| Purpose | Index of Disturbance |
| Data Quality Information | Substantial ground truthing has taken place in coastal watersheds to insure the accuracy of this coverage when used at the appropriate scale. |
| Use Constraints | The USFS Landsat vegetation data averages stand conditions and is accurate at a 1 Hectare scale. The Data are not accurate at pixel (30 meter) scale because of averaging and is not to be used at that scale. |
| Supplemental Information | Schwind supplied metadata and Warbingtin et al. describe regional wide effort (see KRIS Bibliography). New vegetation analysis available from 1999. |
| Scale | 1 Hectare and larger |
| Keywords | vegetation, Landsat |
