Forest is combination of trees and forest. Green space is a combination of trees and forest, grass and herbaceous, and agriculture. This dataset also includes the area per capita for each block group for impervious, forest, and green space land cover. This dataset was produced by the US EPA to support research and online mapping activities related to EnviroAtlas. EnviroAtlas (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas) allows the user to interact with a web-based, easy-to-use, mapping application to view and analyze multiple ecosystem services for the contiguous United States. The dataset is available as downloadable data (https://edg.epa.gov/data/Public/ORD/EnviroAtlas ) or as an EnviroAtlas map service. Additional descriptive information about each attribute in this dataset can be found in its associated EnviroAtlas Fact Sheet (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas/enviroatlas-fact-sheets). The purpose of this dataset is to show the differences in land cover amounts between the block groups in the EnviroAtlas community boundary. The overall goal of EnviroAtlas is to employ and develop the best available science to map indicators of ecosystem services production, demand, and drivers for the nation. completed EnviroAtlas Coordinator US Environmental Protection Agency, Research Triangle Park ORD/NERL/EnviroAtlas 000-000-0000 109 TW Alexander Dr. Research Triangle Park NC 27711 EnviroAtlas@epa.gov pointOfContact asNeeded Ecosystem Environment theme EPA GIS Keyword Thesaurus Agriculture Census Block Groups Communities Ecosystem Services EnviroAtlas Environment Environmental Atlas Green Space Land Cover Natural Resources theme EnviroAtlas Arizona Phoenix, AZ place None https://edg.epa.gov/EPA_Data_License.htm otherRestrictions Use Constraints: None.
