  Description:
    Abstract:
      This Arc/Info Grid represents the North Carolina Gap Analysis Land Cover Data. This represents a 1992 era land cover for the state of North Carolina. There are 70 cover classes represented.
    Purpose:
      The purpose of the land cover map is the support of vertebrate species modeling in the state, as well as an analysis of the extent and pattern of land cover in North Carolina.

Data_Quality_Information:
  Attribute_Accuracy:
    Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
      Generalized and detailed accuracy assessments were conducted separately. The estimated overall accuracy of the land cover when generalized to 15 land cover classes was 87.7%, with a 95% confidence interval between 84.9 and 90.5%. The estimated overall accuracy of the detailed class map was 58.5% with a ninty-five percent confidence interval of 57.1 - 59.9%. Per class accuracies vary considerably and are reported in A Gap Analysis of North Carolina.
  Logical_Consistency_Report:
    Cover classes dominated by anthropogenic cover classes are distributed throughout the state, while the definitions of the cover classes for natural/ semi-natural vegetation are specific to ecological regions. Different datasets were used in developing the land cover in every combination of ecoregion and Landsat TM image date resulting in some differences in the classifications between areas.
  Completeness_Report:
    The land cover is complete for this project. An updated land cover will be produced as a part of a regional project and will be thematically similar.
  Positional_Accuracy:
    Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
      Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
        The total spatial error for the land cover was estimated at 22 (+ or - 5) meters. The error in the easting was estimated at 38 (+ or - 5) meters, and 26 + or - in the northing. These estimates are based on 50 points selected from a systematic grid of 50 digital ortho-photo quadrangles.
