EnviroAtlas - Green Bay, WI - Land Cover by Block Group
Dataset Identification:
Resource Abstract:
This EnviroAtlas dataset describes the percentage of each block group that is classified as impervious, forest, and green
space. Forest is combination of trees and forest and woody wetlands. Green space is a combination of trees and forest, grass
and herbaceous, agriculture, woody wetlands, and emergent wetlands. Wetlands includes both Woody and Emergent Wetlands. This
dataset also includes the area per capita for each block group for impervious, forest, and green space land cover. This dataset
was produced by the US EPA to support research and online mapping activities related to EnviroAtlas. EnviroAtlas (http://enviroatlas.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 (http://enviroatlas.epa.gov/EnviroAtlas/DataFactSheets).

purpose:
The purpose of this dataset is to show the differences in land cover amounts between the block groups in the EnviroAtlas community
boundary. 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.
