Description:
Abstract:
Riparian digital data files are locations of riparian vegetation communities (comprised of one or more plant associations) mapped using high altitude color infrared large format camera (LFC) and NAPP photography. Overlays registered to 7.5 minute quadrangle maps were used to inventory riparian areas on a per class basis.
Purpose:
To provide information on riparian vegetation communities to public and private agencies and individuals for environmental assessment, proprietary land management, resource planning and general scientific reference .

Use_Constraints:
This riparian vegetation data is a product and property of the Colorado Division of Wildlife, a Division of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources. Care should be taken in interpreting these data. Written documents may accompany this map and should be referenced. The information portrayed on these maps should not replace field studies necessary for more localized planning efforts. The data are gathered at a scale of 1:24,000 discrepancies may become apparent at larger scales. The areas portrayed here are graphic representations of phenomena that are difficult to reduce to two dimensions. The Colorado Department of Natural Resources is not responsible and shall not be liable to the user for damages of any kind arising out of the use of data or information provided by the Department, including the installation of the data or information, its use, or the results obtained from its use. ANY DATA OR INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Data or information provided by the Department of Natural Resources shall be used and relied upon only at the user's sole risk, and the user agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Department of Natural Resources, its officials, officers, and employees from any liability arising out of the use of the data or information provided.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Correctness of lines and polygons is tested by manual comparison of the source with hardcopy printouts and/or symbolized display of digital riparian data on a computer.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Specified spatial processing tolerances are used to snap arc over and under shoots to proximal nodes or arcs. Remaining spatial objects falling outside of specified tolerances are flagged by the software and manually corrected for logical consistency.
Completeness_Report:
All photo-interpretable riparian vegetation areas are mapped. In general riparian plant communities are classified to a minimum mapping size of at least one half acre with many going well below this limit. If the width of the riparian areas is less than 80 feet, it is designated as an appropriately attributed line.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Horizontal positional accuracy for the digital data is tested by visual comparisions of the souce with hardcopy plots. Overlays were registered to the 1:24,000 scale mylar quadrangles and orthophotoquads.

Process_Description:
Scanned data files are converted from moss format to ArcInfo format. Linear attributes are manually checked and tied to polygonal data. The linear and polygonal data files are combined into one digital file and reviewed for any additional errors. Checks include valid attribute labels, linears attached to polygons as appropriate, edge match is done to all adjacent coverages checking both features and attributes. Final completed covreages are mapjoined together within a block and checked again for errors across quad edges and then exported and zipped into a file for distribution.

Overview_Description:
Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
The attribute table for this dataset describes the polygon attributes, which contains eight attribute items and the line attributes, which contains eleven attribute items. For the polygon attributes AREA defines the area of the polygon in square coverage units. The PERIMETER defines the perimeter of the polygon in coverage units. RIPARIAN# is an internal feature number. RIPARIAN-ID is a user assigned feature number. DATAF is the riparian attributes assigned using a classification scheme developed cooperatively by the USFS Pike/San Isabel National Forest and Colorado Division of Wildlife. These data were derived between 1990 and 1995. DATAB is the riparian attributes using a classification scheme orginally developed by CDOW for a cooperative project with BLM in 1995 and currently still in use. Both classification schemes utilize a dominant/subdominant methodology of describing riparian habitat. Unless a polygon is at least 75% homogeneous the dominant category is listed first followed by a slash(/) and the subdominant category. DOM is the dominant riparian vegetation type (either of CDOW/USFS or CDOW/BLM). SUBD is the subdominant riparian vegetation type. The SUBD has been further changed in order to aid in display of the data on paper maps. The lookup table for SUBD is with CDOW. The line attributes contain FNODE#, TNODE#, LPOLY#, RPOLY# which are internal topology values. The line attributes also contain LENGTH which is the length of the line in coverage units. and the following attributes which are as above; RIPARIAN#, RIPARIAN-ID, DATAF, DATAB, DOM. The SUBD attribute in the line feature has not been modified according to the lookup table.
Entity_and_Attribute_Detail_Citation:
CDOW keeps a file of the classification systems for both the CDOW/BLM and CDOW/USFS. In addition, the CDOW also keeps the lookup table for the SUBD polygon attribute and the crosswalk table for CDOW/USFS to CDOW/BLM. These documents are available as text files from CDOW.
