KRIS Russian River: Meta Information Page
This page contains detailed information about a data set in KRIS, including where the original data reside and how to contact the sources for the data. 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 Identifier | USFS_VegType |
| Type of Data | ArcView raster data with 30 meter pixels averaged to characterize stands at one hectare scale |
| Originator | US Forest Service Sacramento Spatial Analysis Lab |
| Description | GIS vegetation data derived from a 1994 Landsat Thematic Mapper image. |
| Area | Northern California |
| Metadata Date | 7/10/2003 |
| Metadata Contact | Pat Higgins |
| Contact Person Primary | Brian Schwind |
| Status | complete |
| Access Constraints | none |
| Lead Person | Ralph Warbington |
| Lead Organization | USFS Spatial Analysis Lab, Sacramento |
| Data Set Name | vegsize_usfs_austin.dbf, vegsize_usfs_coyote.dbf, vegsize_usfs_forsythe.dbf, vegsize_usfs_geyserville.dbf, vegsize_usfs_guerneville.dbf, vegsize_usfs_markwest.dbf, vegsize_usfs_russian_calwaters.dbf, vegsize_usfs_santaroasa.dbf, vegsize_usfs_sulphur.dbf, vegsize_usfs_ukiah.dbf, vegsize_usfs_warm_springs.dbf |
| Serial Name | USFS Veg Covers |
| Purpose | Index of Disturbance and landscape condition |
| Data Quality Information | Substantial ground truthing has taken place in coastal watersheds to insure the accuracy of this coverage when used at the appropriate scale. |
| Use Constraints | The USFS Landsat vegetation data averages stand conditions and is accurate at a 1 Hectare scale. The data are not accurate at pixel (30 meter) scale because of averaging and is not to be used at that scale. |
| Supplemental Information | Schwind supplied metadata and Warbington et al. describe region wide effort (see KRIS Bibliography) |
| Scale | 1 Hectare and larger |
| Keywords | vegetation, Landsat |
