Description:

Abstract:

This data set contains public pine lands that have been identified for the purpose of prescribed burning. The data set represents the intersection of 2008, 2009, 2011, and 2013 Water Management District Land Use/ Land Cover data sets with the Florida Natural Areas Inventory Public Lands boundary data set. The following FGDL layers represent the data sets used in the creation of this layer; PUBLICLAND_SEP15 (note: PUBLICLAND_SEP15 is derived from FNAIMA), LU_NWFWMD_2013, LU_SFWMD_2008, LU_SJRWMD_2009, LU_SRWMD_2011, and LU_SWFWMD_2011. This layer is an update of the previously released FGDL layer "PUBLIC_PINELANDS_MAR13".

Purpose:

The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

Supplemental_Information:

Please Note: In order to simplify the DESCRIPT field for future summarization the following updates have occurred.
For SJRWMD the description 'CONIFEROUS PINE' FLUCCS 4410 (4400: TREE PLANTATIONS) has been changed to the FDOT standardized version of 'CONIFEROUS PLANTATIONS' additionally the description 'FOREST REGENERATION' FLUCCS 4430 has been standardized to the FDOT standardized version of 'FOREST REGENERATION AREAS'.
For SWFWMD the description 'UPLAND CONIFEROUS FOREST' FLUCCS 4100 has been changed to the FDOT standardized version of 'UPLAND CONIFEROUS FORESTS'.
The Following nine FLUCCS codes and their descriptions represent the Land Use/ Land Cover classifications captured in this edition of the Public Pine Lands.
4100 - UPLAND CONIFEROUS FORESTS 4110 - PINE FLATWOODS 4120 - LONGLEAF PINE - XERIC OAK 4130 - SAND PINE 4140 - PINE - MESIC OAK 4190 - OTHER PINES 4400 - TREE PLANTATIONS 4410 - CONIFEROUS PLANTATIONS 4430 - FOREST REGENERATION AREAS
The Public Lands - Data set contains all FLORIDA MANAGED AREAS (FNAI layer name FLMA) that are managed by the State, Local, or Federal government (note: some of these lands may be owned by Private Individual(s)). The Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) has identified these lands as having natural resource value and as lands that are being managed at least partially for conservation purposes.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The following Water Management District Land Use/ Land Cover data sets were used in the creation of the data layer. LU_NWFWMD_2013 LU_SFWMD_2008 LU_SJRWMD_2009 LU_SRWMD_2011 LU_SWFWMD_2011
The following query was run against the five WMD Land Use/ Land Cover data sets in order to create five subset layers.
[FLUCCS_L2] = 4100 OR [FLUCCS_L2] = 4400 [OTHER] LIKE '41%' OR [OTHER] LIKE '44%'
Next the five WMD subset layers were combined to create one statewide pine lands layer.
Next an Intersect was run using PUBLICLAND_SEP15 and the statewide pine lands layer. The new layer was then renamed PUBLIC_PINELANDS_SEP15.
Finally the newly created PUBLIC_PINELANDS_SEP15 was cleaned up using the following techniques. 1. The layer was imported to a File Geodatabase where the topology was validated at a cluster tolerance of 1m and gaps were not allowed. 2. The layer was then exported to shapefile and the geometry was then cleaned. 3. The layer was then converted from multipart to single part. 4. The Integrate Command was run at 1m, followed by the repair geometry function. 5. The following fields were created and updated ACRES, AREA, LENG, SLIVER, and TEST. The following calculation was used to populate the SLIVER field: 4 * (( 3.14 * [area] ) / ( [leng] * [leng] ))
The TEST field was calculated using the equation [ACRES] * [SLIVER]. 6. A selection was made where TEST < 0.1 The Eliminate command was then run on this selection set. 7. Slivers that were not absorbed via the Eliminate command were later deleted. 8. Finally the repair geometry function was run once more and the ACRES field was updated.
Please Note: In order to simplify the DESCRIPT field for future summarization the following updates have occurred.
For SJRWMD the description 'CONIFEROUS PINE' FLUCCS 4410 (4400: TREE PLANTATIONS) has been changed to the FDOT standardized version of 'CONIFEROUS PLANTATIONS' additionally the description 'FOREST REGENERATION' FLUCCS 4430 has been standardized to the FDOT standardized version of 'FOREST REGENERATION AREAS'.
For SWFWMD the description 'UPLAND CONIFEROUS FOREST' FLUCCS 4100 has been changed to the FDOT standardized version of 'UPLAND CONIFEROUS FORESTS'.

Attribute_Domain_Values:

Enumerated_Domain:

Enumerated_Domain_Value: 1

Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:

Category I. This is the highest protection and reserved for lands that are specifically and judiciously managed for biodiversity protection. This category includes lands owned by private entities that are managed for biodiversity conservation, and lands administered by public agencies that are specially designated for biodiversity conservation through legislative action where natural events proceed without interference or are mimicked through management. The governmental agency acting alone cannot change these designations without legislative action and public involvement. Examples include The Nature Conservancy preserves and other private preserves committed to biodiversity conservation, preserves that are state-owned and managed, some national parks, federal wilderness areas, and some local preserves. For FNAI purposes, this designation will generally apply to the following: private sanctuaries and preserves, state preserves and botanical sites, many local preserves purchased and managed as environmentally sensitive lands, most national parks and seashores, national marine sanctuaries, and federal research natural areas.

Enumerated_Domain:

Enumerated_Domain_Value: 2

Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:

Category II. This second category applies to lands that are generally managed for their natural values but that may incur additional uses such as habitat manipulation for game species and/or some recreation infrastructure. These activities will likely degrade the quality of natural communities locally but the majority of the land will be managed for biodiversity protection. It also includes public lands with administrative designations for biodiversity conservation. Examples include private preserves managed for game species, national wildlife refuges, BLM areas of critical environmental concern, and state parks. For FNAI purposes, this designation will generally apply to the following: state parks, state reserves, state geological sites, state buffer preserves and aquatic preserves, wildlife and environmental areas, national wildlife refuges, some national park lands, and many locally managed lands purchased for natural resource protection.

Enumerated_Domain:

Enumerated_Domain_Value: 3

Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:

Category III. This category applies to lands maintained for multiple uses, including consumptive or recreational values, and not specifically or wholly dedicated to biodiversity conservation. It also includes lands with restricted development rights. Unrestricted public access is one criterion that may cause a property to be placed into this category. Examples include most nondesignated (i.e., multiple-use) public lands administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management, Department of Defense lands, state forests, regional and large local parks and open space, and private lands protected from subdivision by conservation easements and other title restrictions. For FNAI purposes, this designation will apply to state recreation areas, state gardens and trails, state forests, wildlife management areas, mitigation parks, lands managed by FL DEP Office of Greenways and Trails, most water management district properties, national forests, most Department of Defense lands, many local parks, and conservation easements on private properties. It also includes lands tracked primarily for administrative reasons, such as state historic and archaeological sites, state museums, fish management areas, national memorials, and national fish hatcheries.

Resource_Description: DOWNLOADABLE DATA

Distribution_Liability:

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.
Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. 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. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>
