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.

Meta IdentifierVegType
Type of DataArcView raster data with 30 meter pixels averaged to characterize stands
OriginatorUS Forest Service Sacramento Spatial Anlysis Lab
DescriptionGIS Veg Data
AreaNorthern California
Metadata ContactPat Higgins
Contact Person PrimaryBrian Schwind
Access Constraintsnone
Data Set NameVEG_MNDOPercent.dbf, USFSPercent.dbf
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.
