Fortini James D. Jacobi vector digital data Baseline and Projected Future Carbon Storage and Greenhouse-gas Fluxes in Ecosystems of the Main Hawaiian Islands <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;font-size:12pt"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The CAH Land Cover Map was produced to serve as a base map for estimating current and future carbon stocks for the main Hawaiian Islands as part of the U.S. Geological Survey's national carbon assessment. The CAH General Map units were used to calculate current carbon stocks and the CAH Biome units were used as a starting point for projecting future distribution of the major plant communities from which potential future carbon stocks were calculated. While there have been many maps produced that depict vegetation for the state of Hawai‘i only a few of these display land cover for all of the main Hawaiian Islands, and most of those that were created before the year 2000 have very generalized units or are somewhat inaccurate as a result of more recent land use changes or due to poor resolution (both spatial and spectral) in the imagery that was used to produce the map. Some of the more detailed and accurate maps include the Hawai‘i GAP Analysis (HI-GAP) Land Cover map (Gon et al. 2006), the NOAA C-CAP Land Cover map (NOAA National Ocean Service Coastal Services Center 2012), and the more recently released Hawai‘i LANDFIRE EVT Land Cover map (U.S. Geological Survey 2009). However, all of these maps as originally produced were not considered to be detailed enough, current enough, or had other classification issues that would not allow them to be used as the primary base for the Hawai‘i Carbon Assessment. For the Hawai‘i Carbon Assessment we integrated components from several of these previously mentioned land cover and land use mapping efforts and combined them into a single new land cover map (CAH Land Cover) that was further updated using very-high-resolution imagery. The hierarchical classification system of the CAH Land Cover map allows for grouping the mapped units into different configurations, ranging from very detailed plant communities reflecting current conditions to very generalized major land cover units and biomes that represent land use and potential vegetation zones, respectively. The CAH Land Cover classification is hierarchical with forty-eight CAH Detailed Land Cover units which can be grouped into twenty-seven CAH General Land Cover units, thirteen CAH Biome units, and seven CAH Major Land Cover units (Appendix 1). The CAH Detailed Land Cover units generally correspond to the rUSNVC Association level, the CAH General Land Cover units are related to the rUSNVC Group level, and the CAH Biome units connect to the rUSNVC Subclass level.

Gon et al. 2006 Raster Digital Data Set https://www.zotero.org/groups/piccc_library/items/itemKey/JCCGBGSX observed 2004-01-01 Each land cover or land use data layer was reviewed for accuracy of their selected units by comparing the mapped units to more recent high-resolution World-View 2 (WV2) digital imagery collected by Digital Globe (<2 m pixel size) (Digital Globe 2010) and very-high resolution imagery from Pictometry Online (POL) (Pictometery International 2014), which were also projected in UTM Zone 4 NAD 83. Where differences were found between the original mapped land cover and land use units and the high-resolution imagery, corrections were made to the original raster maps by reclassifying pixels to their correct values using the raster editing program Grid Editor developed by ARIS B.V (2014). The HI-GAP Land Cover layer needed the greatest amount of modification; these changes included 1) manually correcting misclassified pixels based on current high-resolution imagery, 2) combining similar or redundant mapping units with different names, 3) reclassifying some of the ambiguous HI-GAP units (e.g., “Uncharacterized Forest”) into other mapped units, and 4) separating several of the HI-GAP units (e.g., “‘Ohi‘a Forest”, “Koa Forest”) into subunits based on moisture zones described and mapped by Price et al. (2012). The updated map layers were then combined into a single raster map (CAH Land Cover), which also has 30x30 m pixel resolution, using the ArcGIS Mosaic tool. For this final map the updated HI-GAP Land Cover map was used as the base map, with values from the NOAA C-CAP, LANDFIRE and forest plantation maps replacing the HI-GAP raster values that they overlaid. 2015-01-01 The land cover map used for the Hawai‘i Carbon Assessment was created by updating and combining spatial units from several previously produced maps using ArcGIS 10.2 (ESRI 2011). Although the original maps were developed using imagery from various dates between 2000 and 2012, we considered them to represent “current” (ca. 2014) conditions. Base maps for this new compiled CAH Land Cover map included vegetation units and boundaries from the HI-GAP Land Cover map (Gon et al. 2006), land use units from the 2005 NOAA C-CAP map (NOAA National Ocean Service Coastal Services Center 2012), the “Bare” (i.e., < 5 % vegetation cover) map unit from the Hawai‘i LANDFIRE map (Rollins 2009, U.S. Geological Survey 2009), as well as unpublished data on the distribution of managed tree plantations for the main Hawaiian Islands on both state (Y. Akashi, Hawai‘i Division of Forestry and Wildlife, unpublished data) and tree plantations on private lands (N. Koch, Forest Solutions Inc., unpublished data). All spatial files were projected in UTM Zone 4 using the NAD83 datum. The HI-GAP, NOAA C-CAP and LANDFIRE maps were all based on LANDSAT TM imagery with 30x30 m pixels. The tree plantations maps were originally produced as polygon feature layers so they were converted to raster format and aligned to the same 30x30 m grid system that was used for the other maps and for the final CAH Land Cover map. 2015-01-01 Hawaii Statewide GIS Program converted the raster dataset to a vector polygon dataset by running the Raster to Polygon geoprocessing tool with NO polygon simplification in order to avoid any artificial smoothing of the source data. This processing step was performed at the request of Statewide GIS users for ease of use with their spatial analysis tasks. It is being shared with the public as a convenience to other users. 2018-10-15T00:00:00 Hawaii Statewide GIS Program cah_land_cover_poly Table containing attribute information associated with the data set.
