User Note: Although These Data Have Been Updated Based on 2007 User Note: Although these data have been updated based on 2007 imagery it should be noted that only the losses and gains of wetlands from previous mapping efforts were identified and mapped. The majority of the line work from the original mapping has not been modified to fit the 2007 imagery. Due to the limitations of this method, the National Wetlands Inventory deems it necessary to include vital information on the imagery used to create the original wetland data. Image Year: 2002 Scale: Digital Emulsion Type: Color Infrared For further information regarding the source data used, see Appendix A for a complete historic map report, or contact the National Standards and Support Team. [email protected] Supplemental Map Information (User Report) Project ID: R05Y10P05 Project Title or Area: New Jersey Update Source Imagery (type, scale and date): New Jersey 2007 High Resolution Orthophotography Collateral Data (include any digital data used as collateral): • SSURGO hydric soils • NED (10m) • DRG contours Inventory Method (original mapping, map update, techniques used): The NWI update for New Jersey was created with the 2007 NAIP imagery. Polygons were created using headsup digitization. Wetlands were identified at a maximum zoom scale of 1:25,000 and delineated at a larger scale if necessary. Older NWI datasets were used to identify wetland locations.. A “reverse mask” was used to facilitate the identification of lost wetlands using the original NWI polygons. This mask was overlain with the 2007 imagery acquired by NJ. The result of the overlay focused the analyst on only those areas identified as wetland in previous photo interpretation. If the analyst identified an area as no longer a wetland, the analyst delineated the area from the polygon and re-attributes the new polygon with the Anderson Level II code for the new land cover class. These areas were removed and identified as a wetland “loss”. Classification (Cowardin wetlands, riparian, uplands, hydrogeomorphic, etc.): The wetland classifications for the New Jersey project area are in accordance with the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (FGDC 2013), based on the original document of the same name by Cowardin et al. (1979). Data Limitations: Because this map was created through the interpretation of aerial photography, the user is cautioned of certain limitations and potential inaccuracies in dataset: • In general, changes in the landscape after the date of imagery will result in discrepancies from current conditions. • A small percentage of wetland areas may have gone unidentified, especially in forested areas where identification is difficult under vegetative cover. • The target mapping unit for this project was 0.5 acre, meaning that some but not all wetlands smaller than 0.5 acres were identified. • Water regimes should be considered approximate, as they are difficult to ascertain from aerial photography, and limited field verification was possible.

Table 2 - Special modifier descriptions Special Description Modifier x Excavated - Lies within a basin or channel excavated by humans. d Partially Drained/Ditched – The water level has been artificially lowered through the use of human-made ditches and drains, but the area is still classified as wetland because soil moisture is sufficient to support hydrophytes. f Farmed wetlands occur where the soil surface has been mechanically or physically altered for production of crops, but where hydrophytes would become reestablished if the farming were discontinued. Farmed wetlands should be classified as Palustrine-Farmed. h Diked/Impounded - Created or modified by a human-made barrier or dam which obstructs the inflow or outflow of water. r Artificial - Substrates classified as Rock Bottom, Unconsolidated Bottom, Rocky Shore and Unconsolidated Shore that were emplaced by man using natural or synthetic materials.

  • Crop Profile for Commercial Sod Production in Louisiana
    Crop Profile for Commercial Sod Production in Louisiana Prepared: November, 2004 General Production Information In 2003, 23 sod farms cultivated 3,855 acres of lawn turfgrasses. Sod acreage was reported down by 14.5% from the previous year. Gross farm sales were estimated at $13.7 million. About 60% of the sod acreage in Louisiana is centipedegrass. The remaining acreage is divided among St. Augustinegrass, bermudagrass and zoysiagrass, in that order. Cool-season grasses are not grown for sod in Louisiana. With new construction improving and Louisiana farms producing good quality sod, sod markets continue to hold a good price. Markets are expected to improve only as construction increases. Marketing is a limiting factor in the sod industry of Louisiana. Worker Activities Sod Production PLANTING ● Planting of turfgrass on sod farms is typically done either by seed or by vegetative means that would include sprigging, plugging, or sodding. Herbicides are often used at planting. ● Irrigation requirements are high during the early establishment phase on sod farms. Therefore, farm workers will be in the fields working with irrigation soon after planting of seed or vegetative means. ● Prolonged REIs could impact irrigation where there is a problem with the irrigation system. If no The Crop Profile/PMSP database, including this document, is supported by USDA NIFA. problems exist, the irrigation systems would work fine as they are highly automated. FERTILIZATION ● Turfgrasses on sod farms are routinely fertilized by workers. However, all fertilization is done by mechanical means, which includes tractors or trucks with high-flotation tires. ● Fertilization of turf on sod farms is almost always applied as a dry material which requires subsequent irrigation.

  • Floristic Quality Assessment Report
    FLORISTIC QUALITY ASSESSMENT IN INDIANA: THE CONCEPT, USE, AND DEVELOPMENT OF COEFFICIENTS OF CONSERVATISM Tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) the State tree of Indiana June 2004 Final Report for ARN A305-4-53 EPA Wetland Program Development Grant CD975586-01 Prepared by: Paul E. Rothrock, Ph.D. Taylor University Upland, IN 46989-1001 Introduction Since the early nineteenth century the Indiana landscape has undergone a massive transformation (Jackson 1997). In the pre-settlement period, Indiana was an almost unbroken blanket of forests, prairies, and wetlands. Much of the land was cleared, plowed, or drained for lumber, the raising of crops, and a range of urban and industrial activities. Indiana’s native biota is now restricted to relatively small and often isolated tracts across the State. This fragmentation and reduction of the State’s biological diversity has challenged Hoosiers to look carefully at how to monitor further changes within our remnant natural communities and how to effectively conserve and even restore many of these valuable places within our State. To meet this monitoring, conservation, and restoration challenge, one needs to develop a variety of appropriate analytical tools. Ideally these techniques should be simple to learn and apply, give consistent results between different observers, and be repeatable. Floristic Assessment, which includes metrics such as the Floristic Quality Index (FQI) and Mean C values, has gained wide acceptance among environmental scientists and decision-makers, land stewards, and restoration ecologists in Indiana’s neighboring states and regions: Illinois (Taft et al. 1997), Michigan (Herman et al. 1996), Missouri (Ladd 1996), and Wisconsin (Bernthal 2003) as well as northern Ohio (Andreas 1993) and southern Ontario (Oldham et al.

S. Hitchcock, revised by Agnes Chase (1951). iii PREFACE The first part of our Annotated Checklist, covering the 2001 species of Ferns, Fern Allies, Gymnosperms, and Dicotyledons native or naturalized in the Washington-Baltimore Area, was published in March 2000. Part II covers the Monocotyledons and completes the preliminary edition of the Checklist, which we hope will prove useful not only in itself but also as a first step toward a new manual for the identification of the Area’s flora. Such a manual is needed to replace the long- outdated and out-of-print Flora of the District of Columbia and Vicinity of Hitchcock and Standley, published in 1919. In the preparation of this part, as with Part I, Shetler has been responsible for the taxonomy and nomenclature and Orli for the database. As with the first part, we are distributing this second part in preliminary form, so that it can be used, criticized, and updated while the two parts are being readied for publication as a single volume.
