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 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	veg_usfs_sizeclass_northbay_calwaters.db, veg_usfs_sizeclass_northbay_charttable.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
