Title:
EnviroAtlas - Land Cover for the Conterminous United States
Abstract:
This dataset represents the percentage of land area that is classified as forest land cover, modified forest land cover, and natural land cover using the 2006 National Land Cover Dataset (NLCD) for each Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD)12-digit hydrological unit (HUC) in the conterminous United States. 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
).
Purpose:
Output is useful for evaluating the potential value of ecosystem services provided by vegetation communities. 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.
