Central Apps BpS Maps and Workbook

[Randy Swaty]

Here you'll find 2 maps and an Excel spreadsheet for the Central Apps Whole System.  A couple notes:

1. On both maps I "cleaned" the legend a tad, removing BpSs with relatively few acres.

2. The LANDFIRE BpS data is mapped and delivered by Map Zone.  For better or worse the CAWS spans multiple Map Zones.  You will see this in the CenApps_BpS.jpg.  I zoomed in a bit for the the CenAppsMZ_Line.jpg.  

We look forward to any and all comments!

Yes, I remember this being the case. In the context of our chapter and FLN related work we are really only interested in MZ-61, though if we decide to push forward with this other (arguably more interesting) work involving other chapters with footprints in the CAWS and beyond that to include LanDAT phenology metrics for the Eastern US, then the BpS will need to expand accordingly. I'm hoping we can devise some sampling or stratification scheme that makes sense and simplifies the effort without substantially compromising the value. I'm guessing that generally speaking the BpS with larger footprints tend also to be ones you have more confidence in the VDDT models for?

I'm not able to find where I can download the BpS data underlying the spreadsheet you sent. So, is it possible to extract the GIS data for MZ-61 etc, so I can intersect that with ownership information? I could swear I've worked with some of those data sets before, but have no residual evidence.

Hi David,

I can clip the LF data to MZ 61 for you. Would you like the entire map zone or just the area within your project polygon?

Thanks,

Megan
