GIS Shapefile - Vegetation for private lands, Baltimore City

Vegetation (trees and grass) for parcels defined as private land within Baltimore City.

No parcels with the following LU codes were present in Baltimore City: agricultural (A), county club (CA), marsh land (MA), non-perc land (NP), and town house (TH). LU codes were determined from the Maryland Property View 2003 A&T database.

Vegetation data used in this analysis came from the MD DNR Forest Service IKONOS derived Strategic Urban Forest Assessment (SUFA) vegetation layer.
