Abstract:

A primary goal of the Southern New England Gap Analysis Project is to create a detailed land cover map of Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. This map was initially developed in 1994-1995 and then later updated and corrected in the summer of 2002. A total of five TM scenes were required to obtain region wide coverage. The 12-band hyperclustered data combined spring (1992) and summer (1991) coverages. Ground reference of vegetation cover was obtained from a grid of large scale GPS-logged videography flown over the study area to collect a distributed sample of the landscape. We developed our forest type labels from the vegetation classification system defined for the region by the Society of American Foresters (SAF); however, we developed additional forest classes with varying dominance and percentages of each member, and multiple member combinations to take full advantage of potential spectral distinctions. Our classification consisted of seven major classes at Anderson level III, encompassing most of our SAF forest types, and 30 subclasses at Anderson level IV, mostly specific alliances among species or mixtures of level III classes. It should be noted that these are specifically forest classes. The non-forest and wetland classes are included primarily to delineate those vegetation coverages from the forest types and reserve them for further discrimination.

Purpose:

A product of the SNE Gap Analysis Project; providing information regarding land cover descriptions and classifications. Serves as the template for all subsequent species based habitat models.
