Landcover Classification as determined by NOAA Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) | Description Source: NOAA Office for Coastal Management High-Resolution Land Cover Project
1 Unclassified: This class contains no
data due to cloud conditions or data voids. | 2 Impervious Surfaces: Anthropogenic features such as buildings, parking lots and roads developed from asphalt, concrete or other constructed surfaces which do not allow infiltration from precipitation. | 5 Open Spaces Developed: Includes areas with a mixture of some constructed materials, but mostly
vegetation in the form of lawn grasses. Impervious surfaces account for
less than 20 percent of total cover. These areas most commonly include
large-lot single-family housing units, parks, golf courses, and vegetation
planted in developed settings for recreation, erosion control, or
aesthetic purposes. | 6 Cultivated Land: Includes herbaceous (cropland) and woody (e.g., orchards,
nurseries, and vineyards) cultivated lands. | 7 Pasture/Hay: characterized by grasses, legumes or grass-legumes mixtures
planted for livestock grazing or the production of sees or
hay crops. | 8 Grassland: Dominated by naturally occurring grasses and non-grasses
(forbs) that are not fertilized, cut, tilled, or planted
regularly. | 9 Deciduous Forest: Includes areas dominated by single stemmed, woody
vegetation un-branched 0.6 to 1 meter (2 to 3 feet) above
the ground and having a height greater than 5 meters (20
feet). | 10 Evergreen Forest: Includes areas in which more than 67 percent of the trees
remain green throughout the year. Both coniferous and
broad-leaved evergreens (greater than 5 meters) are
included in this category. | 11 Mixed Forest: Contains all forested areas in which both evergreen and
deciduous trees (greater than 5 meters) are growing and
neither predominate. | 12 Scrub/Shrub: Areas dominated by woody vegetation less than 5 meters in
height. This class includes true shrubs, young trees, and
trees or shrubs that are small or stunted because of
environmental conditions. | 13 Palustrine Forested Wetland: Includes all non-tidal wetlands dominated by woody
vegetation greater than or equal to 5 meters in height,
and all such wetlands that occur in tidal areas in which
salinity due to ocean-derived salts is below 0.5 parts per
thousand (ppt). | 14 Palustrine Scrub/Shrub Wetland: Includes all non-tidal wetlands dominated by woody
vegetation less than or equal to 5 meters in height, and
all such wetlands that occur in tidal areas in which
salinity due to ocean-derived salts is below 0.5 ppt. | 15 Palustrine Emergent Wetland: Includes all non-tidal wetlands dominated by trees, shrubs,
persistent emergents, emergent mosses, or lichens, and all
such wetlands that occur in tidal areas in which salinity
due to ocean- derived salts is below 0.5 ppt. | 16 Estuarine Forest Wetland: Includes all tidal wetlands dominated by woody vegetation
greater than or equal to 5 meters in height, and all such
wetlands that occur in tidal areas in which salinity due
to ocean-derived salts is above 0.5 parts per thousand
(ppt). | 17 Estuarine Scrub/Shrub Wetland: Includes all tidal wetlands dominated by woody vegetation
less than 5 meters in height, and all such
wetlands that occur in tidal areas in which salinity due
to ocean-derived salts is above 0.5 ppt. | 18 Estuarine Emergent: Characterized by erect, rooted, herbaceous hydrophytes
(excluding mosses and lichens) that are present for most
of the growing season in most years. Perennial plants
usually dominate these wetlands. All water regimes are
included except those that are sub-tidal and irregularly
exposed. | 19 Unconsolidated Shore: Characterized by substrates lacking vegetation except for
pioneering plants that become established during brief
periods when growing conditions are favorable. Erosion and
deposition by waves and currents produce a number of
landforms, such as beaches, bars, and flats, all of which
are included in this class. | 20 Bare Land: Composed of bare soil, rock, sand, silt, gravel, or other
earthen material with little or no vegetation. | 21 Water: Includes all areas of open water with less than 30 percent
