Description:
Abstract:
The landscape integrity layer is comprised of two related landscape indices assessing ecological integrity based on land use intensity and patch size of natural communities and semi-natural land uses.  The land use intensity index characterizes the intensity of land use across the state based on five general categories of natural, semi-natural (such as rangelands and plantation silviculture), improved pasture, agricultural/low-intensity development, and high intensity development.  The patch size index combines the land use data with major roads data (such as 4 land or wider roads and high traffic roads) to identify contiguous patches of natural and semi-natural land cover and ranks them based on area.  The combination of the land use intensity and patch size indices was created by adding the two together and dividing by two to create a non-weighted average of the two indices.  Values of 10 represent areas with the highest potential ecological integrity based on these landscape indices and 1 represents the lowest ecological integrity.  Please note that this index is intended to primarily characterize terrestrial ecosystems and therefore values for large water bodies are not considered significant.
Purpose:
To assess ecological integrity based on land use intensity and patch size of natural communities and semi-natural land uses.

Use_Constraints:
1) These data were created using input data consistent with 24,000 to 1:100,000 map scale resolution.  Such data are of sufficient resolution for state and regional scale conservation planning.  They are not appropriate for use in high accuracy mapping applications such as property parcel boundaries, local government comprehensive plans, zoning, DRI, site plans, environmental resource or otheragency permitting, wetland  delineations, or other uses requiring more specific and ground survey quality data.

2) The analysis, maps and data on this website were developed for state and regional conservation planning purposes and are not intended, nor sufficient, to be the basis for local government comprehensive plans, environmental resource or agency permitting decisions.

3) These data are likely to be regularly updated and it is the responsibility of the user to obtain the most recent available version of the database.

4) Data should not be transferred to a third party, in data or map form, without noting these disclaimers.
