3 Cooperative Land Cover Version 1-2 Develop an improved statewide land cover map Best available data Using existing sources Local and regional data Confidence categories
4 Florida Land Cover Classification System Develop a statewide land cover classification system Useful to all entities Meets the needs of FWC and conservation partners Flexible and Extensible Incorporate future changes/additions Improved imagery, processing Can be cross-walked Hierarchical Design
5 Classification Schema Hierarchical Structure Class (structural) o Subclass1 Subclass 2 Nested numerical 1000 o Subclass3 (most detailed) 1121

7 Cooperative Land Cover V m Raster Vector Statewide Update in 2014 Moving forward - Partnership between the FWC and FNAI to maintain/update Continuously updated: New versions released every 6 12 months
8 Cooperative Land Cover v 3.1 STATE and SITE Level Classes CLC attributes are provided at two levels: STATE and SITE STATE Appropriate for use at statewide or regional scale There are no overlaps between polygons. Often a one-to-many relationship exists between STATE and SITE level attributes. SITE Appropriate for use at local or site scale Aggregates classes hierarchically Reflects the most detailed level of the classification STATE SITE 1120 Mesic Hammock 1120 Mesic Hammock 1120 Mesic Hammock 1121 Evergreen Levee Hammock 1120 Mesic Hammock 1122 Prairie Mesic Hammock 1120 Mesic Hammock 1123 Live Oak 1120 Mesic Hammock 1124 Pine Mesic Oak 1120 Mesic Hammock 1125 Cabbage Palm
