FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES CODES AND VALUES:
Item | Item Description | |
OBJECTID |
Internal feature number. |
|
OCCURID |
Auto-generated, indexed, unique whole number for occurrence record in Geodatabase representing an invasive exotic plant infestation. |
|
PLANTNAME |
Scientific name of the species |
|
COMMONNAME |
Common name of the plant |
|
FLEPPC_CD |
Rank of taxon by Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council.
|
|
STATE_CD |
Status of taxon according to State of Florida agencies
|
|
USDA_CD |
Federal status (USDA)
|
|
GROSSACRES |
Gross acreage of the infestation (may include area not covered by the invasive species) |
|
DISTRIBUTN |
Pattern of plant distribution within the gross acreage.
|
|
PCTCOVER |
A visual estimate of the percentage of the gross acre(s) infested that is actually covered by the canopy of the plants. Percent Cover classes are: < 5 %, 5 - 25 %, 26 - 50 %, 51 - 75 %, > 75 % |
|
COMMENTS |
Comments or other observations about infestation, distribution, location, or natural community not captured in other fields. |
|
ACCESS_ |
A brief comment describing the ability to reach the infestation. |
|
MATURITY |
Stage of plant development for the recorded infestation. Possible values are Mature, Immature, or Both. |
|
DISTURBTYP |
Primary type of disturbance (natural or otherwise) associated with the infestation. |
|
DISTURBSEV |
Severity of the disturbance described in the DISTURBTYP field. Possible values are Light, Moderate, and Heavy. |
|
FNAI_NC |
Natural community invaded by taxon based on 2nd-tier grouping of FNAI-defined natural communities of Florida. Determined from aerial-photo interpretation, ground surveys, site-manager communications, and/or other available vegetation cover data. |
|
MA_NAME |
Name of Managed Area (conservation land or preserve) |
|
LATITUDE |
Latitude (decimal degrees) for the centroid point representing the infestation location (datum HPGN) |
|
LONGITUDE |
Longitude (decimal degrees) for the centroid point representing the infestation location (datum HPGN) |
|
QTRQUAD |
Reference to topographical quadrangle containing the centroid of the infestation (e.g., 3205) and Digital Orthographic Quarter Quadrangle (e.g., q3205ne). |
|
TOWNSHIP |
Geological survey grid line North or South of Tallahassee base line. 36 sections arranged in a 6 by 6 array, measuring 6 miles by 6 miles. Sections are numbered beginning with the northeast-most section, proceeding west to 6, then south along the west edge of the township and to the east. |
|
RANGE |
Geological Survey grid line West or East of Tallahassee meridian. |
|
SECTION_ |
Basic unit of the Township and Range system of land description. A square tract of land, one mile by one mile containing 640 acres. |
|
COUNTY |
Florida county in which the occurrence is located |
|
TREATEDB4 |
Indicator of whether or not this occurrence has been treated before
|
|
TREAT_COM |
Comments related to treatment activities at this location. |
|
SURVEYDATE |
Calendar year, month, and day of survey data collection. |
|
SURVEYOR |
Person performing the survey and recording information relative to the occurrence. Most likely the single person most familiar with the occurrence. |
|
CONTACT |
Person responsible for providing the information for inclusion in the geodatabase. May or may not be the same as the surveyor, who is most likely the person most familiar with the occurrence. |
|
DATASRC1 |
Name of agency or organization contributing information related to this occurrence |
|
DATASRC2 |
Name of additional agency or organization contributing information related to this occurrence |
|
DATASRC3 |

AUTOID |
Unique ID added by GeoPlan |
Data records for the Florida Invasive Plants database. Note - A value of "ZZ" anywhere in the data indicates that data were not taken or are otherwise unavailable for that attribute value. Null (empty) field values may be present for attributes where no valid assignments exist. |
ESRI feature type: Simple, Geometry: Point, Topology: |
Completeness of attributes was verified. |
Attributes were checked to ensure that all values were within the defined parameters. Gross acres infested is an attribute that is subject to several forms of error, some of which may be considerable. GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data. |
|
Produced from Florida Invasive Plants GeoDatabase to provide a developing statewide view of current invasive exotic plant occurrences in public conservation lands and to establish an inventory and monitoring tool for policy making in natural resource management. |
Majority of location data gathered with mapping grade GPS; some data derived from hand-drawn maps. |
This data is provided 'as is' and its vertical positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan |
May be used unaltered with acknowledgment. THE DATA INCLUDED IN FGDL ARE 'AS IS' AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING. THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA GEOPLAN CENTER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES SUFFERED AS A RESULT OF USING, MODIFYING, CONTRIBUTING OR DISTRIBUTING THE MATERIALS. A note about data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation.
