Lake Vegetation Index Regions

This coverage describes the spatial extent of the North and South Lake Vegetation Index (LVI) biological regions, as described in Fore et al. 2007, Assessing the Biological Condition of Florida Lakes: Development of the Lake Vegetation Index (LVI) (ftp://ftp.dep.state.fl.us/pub/labs/lds/reports/15094.pdf). Some component metrics of the LVI are scored differently for each region. The dividing line between the regions also divides the North Central and South Central Climatological Divisions of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
