LANLoad NEEPP - Lee County: Landscape Assessment of Nutrient Loading to Waterbodies (LANLoad) in the Northern Everglades and Estuaries Protection Program (NEEPP) Region
收藏资源简介：
This raster dataset consists of cells (9.6m x 9.6m) ranked to reflect the likelihood that nutrients applied to a given terrestrial location will reach the nearest downgradient surface waterbody. Possible ranks range from 1 to 9 with values increasing as the likelihood of nutrient transport to downgradient surface waterbodies increases. Ranks are based on six physical landscape parameters selected by Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) who also assigned relative weights to each parameter using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). During this exercise, the location considered by SMEs was the pilot study area, St. Lucie County, FL, and the focal nutrient source was Onsite Sewage and Treatment Disposal Systems (OSTDS). Despite the original focus on OSTDS, LANLoad NEEPP can be used to gauge the likelihood of nutrient transport to surface waterbodies from other, similar, nutrient sources. The resulting AHP model demonstrated high internal consistency (Consistency Ratio: 0.01) and resulted in the following parameters and weights, in order of importance: Distance to Waterbody, 30.0%; Depth to Water, 21.6%; Hydraulic Conductivity, 20.7%; Potential for Flooding, 10.9%; Slope, 9.8%; and Surficial Karstic Deposits, 7.0%. The weights assigned by SMEs in the St. Lucie County pilot were deemed applicable to the NEEPP region due to highly similar geologic/hydrologic conditions. Relative parameter weights might not be applicable to regions without such similarities. Geospatial datasets representative of these parameters were combined using a weighted overlay to produce LANLoad NEEPP. The performance of LANLoad NEEPP was evaluated across randomly selected, stratified locations within the NEEPP region. LANLoad NEEPP categories were classified into “lower” likelihood (LANLoad NEEPP categories ≤ 4) and “higher” likelihood (LANload NEEPP categories ≥ 6). We subjected these classifications to two independent, blind evaluation methods. First, SMEs evaluated 30 locations using their best professional judgment. This expert review yielded a 92% consistency rate with LANLoad NEEPP classifications. Second, the groundwater numerical model ArcNLET-Py was used to simulate uniform nutrient loading across 10 locations, analyzing a total of 500 model points. This yielded a 100% consistency rate with the LANLoad NEEPP classifications where the locations identified by LANLoad NEEPP as "higher likelihood" directly corresponded with the highest simulated nutrient loads, while "lower likelihood" locations matched the lowest simulated nutrient loads. LANLoad NEEPP was developed in ArcGIS Pro 3.5.2 (ESRI) at a 9.6-meter resolution, using the NAD83 (2011) Datum and the Florida GDL Albers Ellipsoid: GRS 1980 projection. Standard geoprocessing workflows and authoritative reference materials were utilized to cleanse data, fill spatial gaps, and eliminate null values for the hydraulic conductivity, depth to groundwater, the National Flood Hazard Layer, and the Surficial Geology of Florida geospatial datasets. Three geospatial datasets derived from source data, Waterbodies, Distance to Waterbodies and Slope, were developed by the Balmoral Group in collaboration with the University of South Florida - Ecohydrology Research Group.

该栅格数据集由分辨率为9.6m×9.6m的像元组成，其等级用于反映施用于某一陆地区域的营养物抵达最近下坡地表水水体的可能性。等级取值范围为1至9，数值越高，营养物输送至下坡地表水水体的可能性越大。 该等级基于领域专家（Subject Matter Experts，SMEs）选定的6项自然景观参数，专家还通过层次分析法（Analytical Hierarchy Process，AHP）为各参数赋予了相对权重。本次研究的试点区域为佛罗里达州圣露西县（St. Lucie County, FL），重点关注的营养源为原位污水与处理处置系统（Onsite Sewage and Treatment Disposal Systems，OSTDS）。尽管最初聚焦于OSTDS，但LANLoad NEEPP可用于评估其他类似营养源的营养物输送至地表水水体的可能性。 构建的AHP模型内部一致性极高（一致性比率：0.01），按重要性排序得到如下参数及权重：距水体距离（30.0%）、地下水埋深（21.6%）、导水率（20.7%）、洪涝潜在性（10.9%）、坡度（9.8%）以及表层喀斯特沉积（7.0%）。由于NEEPP区域与圣露西县试点区域的地质/水文条件高度相似，专家赋予的权重被认为适用于NEEPP区域，不适用于缺乏此类相似性的区域。 通过加权叠加各参数对应的地理空间数据集，生成了LANLoad NEEPP。 在NEEPP区域内随机选取的分层采样点上对LANLoad NEEPP的性能进行了评估。将LANLoad NEEPP的等级划分为"较低"可能性（LANLoad NEEPP等级≤4）与"较高"可能性（LANLoad NEEPP等级≥6）。研究采用两种独立的盲评方法对该分类结果进行验证：其一，领域专家凭借其专业判断对30个采样点进行评估，结果显示与LANLoad NEEPP分类结果的一致性达92%；其二，使用地下水数值模型ArcNLET-Py对10个采样点开展均匀营养负荷模拟，共分析500个模型节点，结果显示与LANLoad NEEPP分类结果完全一致：LANLoad NEEPP识别的"较高"可能性区域的采样点对应的模拟营养负荷最高，而"较低"可能性区域的采样点对应的模拟营养负荷最低。 LANLoad NEEPP基于ArcGIS Pro 3.5.2（ESRI）开发，分辨率为9.6米，采用NAD83（2011基准面与佛罗里达GDL阿尔伯斯椭球体：GRS 1980投影。 研究采用标准地理处理工作流与权威参考资料，对导水率、地下水埋深、全国洪水危险图层以及佛罗里达表层地质地理空间数据集进行数据清洗、填补空间间隙并剔除空值。 由巴尔莫勒尔集团（The Balmoral Group）与南佛罗里达大学生态水文学研究组（University of South Florida - Ecohydrology Research Group）联合开发了3份源自源数据的地理空间数据集：水体、距水体距离与坡度。 表1：LANLoad NEEPP所纳入的地理空间数据集（2026）。 缩写说明：联邦紧急事务管理局（Federal Emergency Management Agency，FEMA）、佛罗里达州环境保护部（Florida Department of Environmental Protection，DEP）、美国自然资源保护服务局（National Resources Conservation Service，NRCS）、美国地质调查局（United States Geological Survey，USGS）、南佛罗里达大学生态水文学研究组（University of South Florida - Ecohydrology Research Group，USF-ERG） |参数|地理空间数据集|来源|获取日期 |水体|佛罗里达州NHD水体多边形|DEP|2026年3月 |佛罗里达州NHD面积多边形|DEP|2026年3月 |佛罗里达州NHD水流线|DEP|2026年3月 |土壤调查地理数据集（Soil Survey Geographic Dataset，SSURGO）- 佛罗里达|NRCS|2026年3月 |全州土地利用/土地覆盖（代码5000和6000）|DEP|2026年3月 |距水体距离|水体|巴尔莫勒尔集团|2026年3月 |数字高程模型（Digital Elevation Model，DEM）|USGS|2026年3月 |地下水埋深|土壤调查地理数据集（SSURGO）- 佛罗里达|NRCS|2026年3月 |导水率|土壤调查地理数据集（SSURGO）- 佛罗里达|NRCS|2026年3月 |洪涝潜在性|全国洪水危险图层|FEMA|2026年3月 |坡度|距水体距离；DEM|巴尔莫勒尔集团；USGS|2026年5月；2026年3月 |表层地质|佛罗里达州表层地质|DEP|2025年11月 联系方式：Kai C.
