The pixel resolution of this data is 30 meters. Upon classification, seventeen land classes are mapped, these being agricultural crop land, forage crops, grassland, open deciduous, deciduous, coniferous, mixedwood forests,treed rock, bogs, marshes and fens, bare rock, burnt areas, forest cutovers, open water, cultural features, roads and trails. Purpose: To display land use / land cover features used by earth resources management agencies and for environmental monitoring. Supplemental_Information: Land Use/Land Cover Mapping of Manitoba 1. Agricultural Cropland; All lands dedicated to the production of annual cereal, oil seed and other speciality crops. This class can be further sub-divided into three crop 0% - 33%, 34% - 66%, and 67% - 100%. 2. Deciduous Forest;75% - 100% of the forest canopy is deciduous. Dominant species include trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides), balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera), and white birch (Betula papyrifera). May include small patches of grassland, marsh or fens less than two hectares in size. 3. Water Bodies; All open water - lakes, rivers, streams, ponds and lagoons. 4. Grassland/Rangeland; Mixed native and/or tame prairie grasses and herbs. May also include scattered stands of willow (Salix L.), choke cherry (Prunus virginiana), pin cherry (Prunus pensylvanica) and saskatoon (Amelanchier alnifolia). Many of these areas are used for cutting of hay and grazing. Both upland and lowland meadows fall into this class. There is normally less than 10% shrub or tree cover. 5. Mixedwood Forest; 25% - 75% of the canopy is coniferous. May include patches of treed bog, marsh or fens less than two hectares in size. 6. Marsh and Fens; Wet areas with standing or slowly moving water. Vegetation consists of grasses and/or sedge. Marshes will include common hydrophytic vegetation such as cattail and rushes. Fens will be formed on minerotrophic sites. Areas are frequently interspersed with channels or pools of open water. 7. Treed and Open Bogs; Peat covered or peat filled depressions with a high water table. The bogs are covered with a carpet of Spagnum spp. and ericaceous shrubs and may be treeless or treed with black spruce (Picea mariana) and/or tamarack (Larix laricina). 8. Treed Rock; Exposed bedrock with less than 50% tree cover. 9. Coniferous Forest; 75% - 100% of the canopy are coniferous. Pine (Pinus spp.) and spruce (Picea spp.) are dominant species. May include patches of treed bog, marsh or fens less than two hectares in size. 10. Burnt Areas; Burned forested areas with sporadic regeneration and can include patches of unburnt trees. 11. Open Deciduous; Lands characterized by rough topography, shallow soil, or poor drainage. Supports a growth of shrubs such as willow (Salix spp.), alder (Alnus spp.) saskatoon (Amalanchier spp.) and/or stunted deciduous (Populus spp.) tree cover. An area could have up to 50% scattered tree or shrub cover. 12. Forage Crops; Consists of perennial forage such as alflafa, and clover or blends of these with tame species of grass. Fall seeded crops such as winter wheat or fall rye are included here. 13. Cultural Features; Built-up areas such as cities and towns, peat farms, golf courses, cemeteries, shopping centres, large recreation sites, auto wreck yards, airports, cottage areas, race tracks. 14. Forest Cutover; Areas where commercial logging operations have clearcut or partially removed a standing forest. Includes areas which have been recently replanted. 15. Bare Rock, Gravel and Sand; Exposed areas of bedrock, sand dunes, and beaches, gravel quarry/pit operations, mine tailings, borrow pits, and rock quarries. 16. Roads and Trails; All highways, secondary roads, trails, cut survey lines, right-of-ways, railway lines and transmission lines. 17. Fen*;Fens are peatlands with nutrient-rich, minerotrophic water and organic soils composed of the remains of sedges and/or moss, where sedges, grasses, reeds and moss predominate but could include shrubs and sparse tree cover of black spruce and/or tamarack. Much of the vegetative cover composition of fens would be similar to the vegetation zones of marshes. *Marsh and Fen can be rolled up into larger land class of Wetlands Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Single_Date/Time: Calendar_Date: Range_of_Dates/Times: Multiple_Dates/Times:2005 July 13 Currentness_Reference: Publication Date Status: Progress: Complete Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: As needed Spatial_Domain: Bounding_Coordinates: West_Bounding_Coordinate: -96.586253 East_Bounding_Coordinate: -94.956975 North_Bounding_Coordinate: +50.832094 South_Bounding_Coordinate: +49.960642 Keywords: Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Theme_Keyword: Land Use Theme_Keyword: Land Cover Theme_Keyword: Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) Theme_Keyword: Satellite Imagery Theme_Keyword: Land Classification Theme_Keyword: remote sensing Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: Tri - Service Spatial Data Standard Theme_Keyword: Land Status Place: Place_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Place_Keyword: Manitoba Place_Keyword: Beausejour Place_Keyword: PineFalls Place_Keyword: Pinawa Place_Keyword: LacDuBonnet Place_Keyword: GrandBeach Place_Keyword: R.M. of Victoria Beach Place_Keyword: R.M. of Alexander Place_Keyword: R.M. of St Clements Place_Keyword: R.M. of Brokenhead Place_Keyword: R.M. of Springfield Place_Keyword: R.M. of Reynolds Place_Keyword: R.M. of LacDuBonnet Place_Keyword: R.M. of Whitemouth Place_Keyword: LGD of Pinawa Stratum: Temporal: Access_Constraints: None Use_Constraints: The data represent the results of data collection / processing for a specific activity and indicates the general existing conditions.
