Resource Abstract:
- description: This shapefile serves as a net (fishnet or grid) to be placed over the South Florida study area to allow for
sampling within the 400 meter cells (grid cells or polygons). The origin and extent of the Everglades Depth Estimation Network
(EDEN) grid were selected to cover not only existing Airborne Height Finder (AHF) data and current regions of interest for
Everglades restoration, but to cover a rectangular area that includes all landscape units (USACE, 2004) and conservation areas
in place at the time of its development. This will allow for future expansion of analyses throughout the Greater Everglades
region should resources allow and scientific or management questions require it. Combined with the chosen extent, the 400m
cell resolution produces a grid that is 675 rows and 375 columns.. The shapefile contains the 253125 grid cells described
above. Some characteristics of this grid, such as the size of its cells, its origin, the area of Florida it is designed to
represent, and individual grid cell identifiers, could not be changed once the grid database was developed. These characteristics
were selected to design as robust a grid as possible and to ensure the grid’s long-term utility.; abstract: This shapefile
