Data Set Nameusfsveg_allcw.dbf, usfsveg_cwsrce.dbf, usfsveg_riparian.dbf, usfsveg_ripsrce.dbf, vegusfs_cw.dbf, vegusfs_rip.dbf
Maint. and Update Freq.unknown
Serial NameUSFS Veg Covers
PurposeIndex of Disturbance
Data Quality InformationSubstantial ground truthing has taken place in coastal watersheds to insure the accuracy of this coverage when used at the appropriate scale.
Use ConstraintsThe USFS Landsat vegetation data averages stand conditions and is accurate at a 1 Hectare scale. The data is not accurate at pixel (30 meter) scale because of averaging and is not to be used at that scale.
Supplemental InformationSchwind supplied metadata and Warbingtoin et al. describe regiona wide effort (see KRIS Bibliography)
Scale1 Hectare and larger
