Description:
This is a layer of potential vernal pools in six towns in southern Maine: Eliot, Kittery, Ogunquit, South Berwick, York and Wells. This layer was crated using LIDAR data and a random forest routine. Training data was supplied by Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, and 36 remote sensing variables were used to construct the model. The random forest 'probability' function was used to classify potential vernal pools into 'High', 'Medium', and 'Low' vernal pool probability. Potential vernal pools are mapped to a 2m horizontal resolution with a minimum mapping unit of 25 m2.
