SE Gap Species-Habitat Relationships for AppLCC
email 3/25/13 from Ed Laurent, R4: FYI. Note that these species-habitat relationships use the GAP land cover classification system. When considering whether or how to use these relationships for mapping and other purposes: 1) Here is the link to download version 2 of the Gap land cover map http://gapanalysis.usgs.gov/gaplandcover/data/download/ 2) Attached is the most recent crosswalk from NatureServe Systems to Pyne-Hunter coarse land cover classes (file attached here) 3) Here is the link to a (possibly updated) crosswalk between GAP land cover classes and NatureServe Systems. http://griffingroups.com/file/view/10333/crosswalk-between-gap-land-cover-and-natureserve-systems Feel free to share, and let me know if you have any questions.
