A comparison of simulated MC1 historical vegetation types and
EPA Kuchler potential natural vegetation types within HUC5 Watersheds in Arizona and New Mexico.
Majority generalized vegetation type was determined for each HUC5
watershed from original ~ 4 km raster data. Generalized vegetation
types were assigned by combining detailed MC1 vegetation classes into
four general catagories: desert, grassland, shrubland, and forest.
Watersheds represent 5th level (HUC5, 10-digit) hydrologic unit
boundaries and were acquired from the Natural Resources Conservation
Service.
Majority generalized vegetation type was subsequently determined for each HUC5
watershed based on Kuchler (Kuchler, A.W. 1993) Potential Natural Vegetation data.
The data were then integrated in order to identify differences in the majority generalized vegetation type between the simulated MC1 data and the Kuchler data.
This project was funded through the U.S. Forest Service by the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and also in part by the Western
Wildland Environmental Threat Center.
