    • The StreamCat Dataset: Accumulated Attributes for NHDPlusV2 (Version 2.1) Catchments for the Conterminous United States: Non-agricultural Introduced Managed Vegetation

    Metadata Updated: November 15, 2023

    This dataset represents the percent of non-agricultural, non-native vegetation based on LANDFIRE existing vegetation type (EVT) for a 30-m grid cell within individual local NHDPlusV2 catchments and upstream, contributing watersheds based on field reference data and Landsat, elevation, and ancillary data. EVTs are mapped using decision tree models, field data, Landsat imagery, elevation, and biophysical gradient data. Decision tree models are developed separately for each of the three lifeforms -tree, shrub, and herbaceous and are then used to generate lifeform specific EVT layers. The LF-GAP Map Units Descriptions provide descriptions for each LF EVT including species, distribution and classification information. Vegetation map units are primarily derived from NatureServe's Ecological Systems classification, alliances of the U.S. National Vegetation Classification (USNVC), and the National Land Cover Database and LF specific types. LANDFIRE EVT groups were reclassified into introduced managed vegetation cover where EVT_GP = (701,702,703,704,705,706,707,708,709,711,731).
