In this community, tree cover is defined as Trees & Forest, and Woody Wetlands. Water was considered background (value 129) during the analysis to create this dataset, however it has been converted into value 10 to distinguish it from land area background. 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). This dataset is useful for green infrastructure applications, such as habitat suitability analyses. 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 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Research and Development-Sustainable and Healthy Communities Research Program, EnviroAtlas Geospatial Data Owner (919) 541-3832 109 T.W.

This lineage was generated by the FGDC CSDGM to 19139 transformation Begin with EnviroAtlas 1-meter Land Cover for the EnviroAtlas community 2019-11-25T00:00:00 Reclassify the land cover into Foreground (Trees & Forest - 40, Woody Wetlands - 91 = 2), and Background (All Else = 1). 2019-11-25T00:00:00 Split the reclassified land cover into pieces of 10,000 x 10,000 pixels or fewer with a 1,000 pixel overlap. Convert to Tiff. 2019-11-26T00:00:00 For each piece, convert the raster from a tiled TIFF to a striped TIFF. 2019-12-02T00:00:00 For each piece, run the GUIDOS (Graphical User Interface for the Description of image Objects and their Shapes) v2.1 MSPA (Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis) Standalone Tool (http://forest.jrc.ec.europa.eu/download/software/guidos) using 8 neighbor connectivity, 30 pixel edge, transition off, and intext off. 2019-12-02T00:00:00 Project each GUIDOS piece into UTM, shifting to the location of the original piece. 2019-12-02T00:00:00 Split the reclassified land cover into the same pieces as previous but with no overlap. 2019-12-02T00:00:00 Clip each GUIDOS output to the corresponding piece of the second raster split to eliminate overlap. 2019-12-02T00:00:00 Mosaic all of the clipped GUIDOS output tiles into one raster. 2019-12-03T00:00:00 Using the original land cover, burn water pixels into raster using a conditional statement if Land Cover Value = 10; for true: 10; for false: GUIDOS raster. 2019-12-03T00:00:00 Clip the EnviroAtlas Community Boundary to the county lines for the community to limit the output to land area. 2017-05-08T00:00:00 Because the community boundary extends beyond the Land Cover, clip the boundary to the land cover. 2019-12-03T00:00:00 Extract by Mask the area of the projected raster that is within the clipped EnviroAtlas Community Boundary. 2019-12-03T00:00:00 Add a default GUIDOS colormap to the final raster from any of the original GUIDOS output tiles. 2019-12-03T00:00:00 Convert raster into TIFF format for distribution. 2019-12-03T00:00:00 unknown 2029-02-13 This metadata was automatically generated from the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata standard (version FGDC-STD-001-1998) using the 2024-02-09T11:11:00 version of the FGDC CSDGM to ISO 19139 transform.
