Description:
Mississippi Floodplain Forests extracted from the Landfire 2014 dataset for:
  • Southern Coastal Plain Seepage Swamp and Baygall Woodland
  • Central Interior and Appalachian Riparian Forest
  • Gulf and Atlantic Coastal Plain Floodplain Forest
  • Gulf and Atlantic Coastal Plain Small Stream Riparian Woodland
  • Gulf and Atlantic Coastal Plain Swamp Systems
  • Lower Mississippi River Flatwoods
  • Introduced Wetland Vegetation-Tree
  • Pinus elliottii Saturated Temperate Woodland Alliance
These areas represent areas of bottomland hardwood forests within Mississippi covering 4.1 million acres within the state. These data were simplified when converted to a polygon and all polygons less than 5 acres removed to remove small areas. Should only be used for large scale evaluation of floodplain forest areas.
