EnviroAtlas - Pittsburgh, PA - Tree Cover Configuration and Connectivity, Water Background Web Service
Dataset Identification:
Resource Abstract:
This EnviroAtlas web service supports research and online mapping activities related to EnviroAtlas (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas).
The EnviroAtlas Durham, NC tree cover configuration and connectivity map categorizes forest land cover into structural elements
(e.g. core, edge, connector, etc.). In this community, forest is only trees & forest. Water was considered background (value
129) during the analysis to create this dataset, however it has been converted into value 10 to distinguish it from land area
background. This dataset was produced by the US EPA to support research and online mapping activities related to EnviroAtlas.
EnviroAtlas (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas) allows the user to interact with a web-based, easy-to-use, mapping application
to view and analyze multiple ecosystem services for the contiguous United States. The dataset is available as downloadable
data (https://edg.epa.gov/data/Public/ORD/EnviroAtlas) or as an EnviroAtlas map service. Additional descriptive information
about each attribute in this dataset can be found in its associated EnviroAtlas Fact Sheet (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas/enviroatlas-fact-sheets).

This dataset is useful for green infrastructure applications, such as habitat suitability analyses. The overall goal of EnviroAtlas
is to employ and develop the best available science to map indicators of ecosystem services production, demand, and drivers
for the nation.
