Description:

Abstract:

This project is an interagency effort with the CDOW and BLM to produce a vegetation map for Colorado. Individual watersheds were subset from spring and fall of 1993 - 1997 Landsat Thematic Mapper imagery and processed using an unsupervised classification procedure. Field gathered GPS data were used to label and group the classes into the final classification map.

Purpose:

To produce a general level vegetation map for the State of Colorado.

Use_Constraints:

Care should be taken in interpreting these data. The information portrayed on these maps should not replace field studies necessary for more localized planning efforts. The data are processed at a resolution of 25 meters and there is no minimum mapping unit. This dataset is a generalized representation of what occurs on the ground and discrepancies may become apparent at larger, more localized scales.

Landsat TM imagery used to determine vegetation coverage in this hydrounit

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Landsat TM imagery was acquired from spring and fall dates of the years 1993-97. The imagery was purchased terrain-corrected and georeferenced to the UTM coordinate system. The imagery was resampled to a pixel size of 25 meters. Bands 1-5 and 7 from the spring imagery were merged with bands 1-5 and 7 of the fall imagery and subset into individual watersheds to create a 12 banded image. The number of signatures used in the unsupervised classification was determined through analysis of signature divergences, and visual assessment of the watershed. This number varied from 35-70 depending on the spectral complexity of the given watershed. The ERDAS IMAGINE program ISODATA was used to generate the signatures, which were then entered into a maximum-likelihood classifier to produce a preliminary classification.

Crews using a GPS collected field data. Each field form was entered into an Informix database. An ArcView Avenue script was written to query the database, create a shapefile of the field data coordinates by watershed, and then convert that shapefile into an IMAGINE image for use in the class labeling process. A final classification dataset was created by grouping and labeling the classes using the above-mentioned database. Several ancillary datasets were used in conjunction with the point data. These were a DEM (digital elevation model), a slope image derived from the DEM, a 100k DLG hydrography line coverage, and RIS (resource inventory system) data from the Forest Service when available. Rules for elevation, slope, hydrology and RIS determinations varied by watershed based on the field data and visual analysis by the image processing specialist.

Overview_Description:

Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:

The classification scheme used for this project has been developed by the CDOW and BLM. The CLASS_NAMES item is populated with cover type categories based on a modified Andersons Land Use and Land Cover Classification System. Class codes are listed in a hierarchical format and identified in the CVCP_CODES item. The DESCRIPTION for each cover type is not meant to be a complete species list, but rather an overview of the most common species associated with each cover type. When several different species types occur in a cover type, species are listed in order of greatest occurrence. Co-dominance is identified as two species with each having > 25% and < 75% crown cover of the same site. The CDOW_CROSSWALK item is populated with codes from a classification scheme created for the National GAP Analysis Program and used by the CDOW for larger scale mapping projects and habitat affinities modeling.
