ATTACHMENT 4 METADATA FOR GIS COVERAGES Composite Vegetation/Land Cover Coverage Descriptive name: Composite Vegetation/Land Cover Coverage File name: comp_veg Spatial domain: Pima County Abstract: This composite coverage was created by overlaying GAP, WHIP, San Pedro, Cienega Creek, and Organ Pipe coverages. These coverages were modified prior to union to include only those attributes containing land cover data. New attributes were created for each coverage to hold Brown, Lowe, and Pase (BLP) vegetation classification. Attributes of component coverages were retained in composite and used to assign a BLP classification to composite polygons. "Comp_blp" attribute was calculated first from GAP attribute "gap_blp" then replaced where San Pedro, WHIP, Cienega, and Organ Pipe blp attributes overlapped GAP, in this order. Feature type: Polygon Feature count: 15020 Known errors/qualifications: This coverage is being reviewed and revised by the STAT for the SDCP Source organization: RECON Environmental Inc. 1927 Fifth Avenue, Suite 200 San Diego, CA 92101-2358 (619) 308-9333 Phone; (619) 308-9334 Fax Source contact: Leslie Smith (lsmith@recon-us.com) Source document or file name: M:\jobs\3273b\gis\coverages\comp_veg Source date: March 2000 Source scale: Multiple scales Source format: Multiple coverages Date of last update on maintenance: March 17, 2000 Maintenance frequency: Ongoing Maintenance format: Coverage Maintenance description: As component coverages are revised and made available these will be incorporated into the composite vegetation coverage.
