- Abstract:
-
This class represents a subset of the Pinelands class in the FWC 2003 Florida Vegetation and Land Cover. Areas identified as Tree Plantations on private lands (using the Water Managmement Districts Land Use Land Cover data) were removed from the Pineland class of the FWC 2003 data and classified as Indusrial/Commercial Pinelands.
This category includes industrial and commercial pine plantations that are almost exclusively artificially produced through silvicultural practices. Due to a climate conducive to rapid growth, Florida is part of one of the most productive timber-producing regions in the world; Florida's timberlands are a major contributor to the state's economy and provide critical water recharge areas within Florida. Industrial/Commercial Pineland habitat is characterized by high density, even-aged, single-species stands, planted in rows at regular intervals, across large areas. This habitat includes sites predominantly planted to slash pine, although longleaf pine and loblolly pine tracts also occur. Also included in this category are sand pine plantations, which often are planted on sites with poorer soils; many of these areas occur on intensively prepared sites. Ground cover and shrub vegetation on Industrial/Commercial Pineland sites vary with the growth stage of the pine trees and management techniques used at the site. On early or recently planted sites, ground cover and shrub vegetation may be excessively dense, and may include species such as palmetto, gallberry, and wax myrtle. As the trees become taller and canopy cover becomes complete, ground cover and shrub vegetation becomes sparse. As Industrial/Commercial Pineland sites approach maturity other vegetation may disappear and the ground cover may consist of a thick layer of pine needles and other litter. Industrial/Commercial Pineland may provide habitat for a variety of species depending upon the growth stage of the forest and the management practices employed on-site. Species such as the Florida panther and the black bear may use this habitat as a corridor between primary habitats.
- Purpose:
-
This GIS data set was developed for the Florida Wildlife Legacy Initiative (FWLI).
- Supplemental_Information:
-
Prior to July 1, 2004, the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) was known as the Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI). The institute name has not been changed in historical data sets or references to work completed by the Florida Marine Research Institute. The institute name has been changed in references to ongoing research, new research, and contact information.

- Process_Description:
-
This data set was originally part of a raster data set called "terr_sub" used in the CWCS Strategy. "Terr_sub" was reclassified from the 2003 Landcover data set so that areas identified as Tree Plantations on private lands (using the Water Management Districts Land Use Land Cover data)were removed from the Pineland class of the FWC 2003 data and classified as Industrial/Commercial Pinelands.
Industrial and Commercial Pinelands category was reselected from the full "terr_sub" raster dataset using ArcGIS 9.1 Spatial Analyst, and converted from raster to vector without generalizing the polygons.
