Meta Identifier	VegType
Type of Data	Landsat vegetation classification
Originator	Humboldt State University Spatial Analysis Lab
Description	Landsat data classified to ten timber and vegetation types primarily as a course assessment tool for watershed disturbance in coastal watersheds.
Area	All Sub-Basins
Metadata Contact	Patrick Higgins
Contact Person Primary	Dr. Larry Fox
Access Constraints	Data are available from Humboldt State University and because it is value added, can be disseminated without infringing Landsat license agreement with EoSat.
Data Set Name	kriseral.dbf
Maint. and Update Freq.	Ground truthing still in progress
Serial Name	VegTypes
Data Quality Information	Some problems may be present in over-estimation of large trees due to topographic shading and under-estimation of trees 20-30 inches in diameter. Use of vegetation types as indicator of watershed disturbance may not work well in interior Klamath.
Use Constraints	Data available for use.
