This class represents a subset of the Pinelands class in the FWC 2003 Florida Vegetation and Land Cover. 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.
Areas of Pinelands, Hardwood Hammock and Forest and Mixed Hardwood-Pine Forest found within 1,000 meters of an identified pine rockland or rockland hammock (Florida Natural Areas Inventory, Element Occurrence data) or remaniing areas of pine rockland as identified in Cox et al. (1994). Pine Rockland is a unique type of pine flatwoods that is found exclusively on limestone substrate in the Florida Keys, the Big Cypress Swamp, and the Miami Rock Ridge (the limestone outcropping that rises from the Everglades to heights of 23 feet (7 m) above sea level). The overstory of Pine Rockland habitat contains a single canopy species, South Florida slash pine. The dominant pines tower over a savanna-like understory of saw palmettos, locust berry, willow bustic, beauty berry, broom grasses, silver palms, and a rich herbaceous layer. This community is often associated with rockland hammock and other short-hydroperiod freshwater wetland communities. These sub-tropical pine trees and understory plants have adapted to seasonal wildfires and the lack of soil on the exposed limerock. Pine Rockland communities are globally imperiled and support federal and state listed plant species, such as deltoid spurge and Small?s milkwort which only occur in this habitat.
- Purpose: To represent pine rockland habitat in Florida.

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.

-
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.
Pine Rocklands 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.
