Central Mojave Desert Vegetation Mapping Project, California, 1997-1999: Special Features Points
The Central Mojave Special Features shapefile provides point locations for known or potential places where vegetation alliances or unique stands occurred (from 1997-1999) with less than 5 hectares of spatial extent. These designations were provided separately from the Mojave Vegetation Polygons because the target standard for the polygons was a minimum mapping unit (MMU) of 5 hectares, thus methods used at the time to assign labels precluded mapping these special features as polygons. The special features points are still included because it is important to note the known or potential location of vegetation alliances for future mapping at finer spatial resolution.
The metadata record (Mojave-Vegetation-Mapping_Special-Features-Points-Metadata.xml) and special features points shapefile (zipped shapefile, spec_feat_points.zip) are both included as attachments on the Special Features Points ScienceBase item.
