This dataset represents evapotranspiration (ET) \nunits derived from the mean Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) calculated from two Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper \nscenes from the summer of 2010. ET units were defined within the DVFS groundwater discharge area (GDA) to \ngroup areas characterized by similar phreatophytic vegetation type and cover and to extrapolate site-scale \ngroundwater ET estimates across the study area.  This dataset represents three ET units: shrubland, grassland, \nand playa. The shrubland unit is composed of low to high density phreatophytic shrubs and bare soil while the \ngrassland ET unit is composed of grassland, meadow, and marshland vegetation assemblages. The ET units \nwere developed using a combination of EVI and site scale discharge measurements. The data were used to \nevaluate and estimate groundwater discharge by evapotranspiration in the study area. ET unit delineations \nreflect general spatial changes on the landscape and are not intended to be exact delineations of plant \ncommunities or soil conditions.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/F7DV1H0J", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.d0f3e539-3fe2-4884-a622-a302f8be084b.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_d0f3e539-3fe2-4884-a622-a302f8be084b", "keyword": ["Antelope Valley", "Diamond Valley", "ET", "ET unit", "Elko County", "Eureka County", "Evaporation", "Evapotranspiration", "Great Basin", "Groundwater", "Groundwater discharge", "Kobeh Valley", "Lander County", "Monitor Valley, Northern Part", "Monitor Valley, Southern Part", "Nevada", "Nye County", "Phreatophyte", "Transpiration", "USGS:d0f3e539-3fe2-4884-a622-a302f8be084b", "biota", "imageryBaseMapsEarthCover", "inlandWaters"], "modified": "2020-11-17T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-116.825918, 38.659403, -115.856914, 40.166522", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Evapotranspiration Units for the Diamond Valley Flow System Groundwater Discharge Area, Central Nevada, 2010"}
