EnviroAtlas - 2010-2012 Riparian Land Cover Proportions by 12-digit HUC for Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands

Description

This EnviroAtlas dataset represents the percentage of land area that is classified as forest (excluding wetlands), forest including woody wetlands, and natural land cover that occurs within 45 meters of streams for each 12-digit hydrologic unit code (HUC) in Puerto Rico. Land cover is defined using the EnviroAtlas version of the Coastal Change Analysis Program's (C-CAP) 2010 layer for Puerto Rico and the 2012 C-CAP for the U.S. Virgin Islands. Steams were derived from the NHDPlus Version 2 dataset. This dataset was produced by the US EPA to support research and online mapping activities related to EnviroAtlas. EnviroAtlas (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas) allows the user to interact with a web-based, easy-to-use, mapping application to view and analyze multiple ecosystem services for the contiguous United States. The dataset is available as downloadable data (https://edg.epa.gov/data/Public/ORD/EnviroAtlas) or as an EnviroAtlas map service. Additional descriptive information about each attribute in this dataset can be found in its associated EnviroAtlas Fact Sheet (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas/enviroatlas-fact-sheets).
