Riparian Areas - Variable Width

Identifies variable width biophysical riparian areas along major rivers and streams in Calgary, as of 2012. Four separate riparian zones are delineated: Inner Riparian, Middle Riparian, Outer Riparian, and Potential Outermost Riparian. Boundaries are based on city-wide models driven by distance from the river/stream, slope profiles from digital elevation models, and field work calibration based on sampling of riparian plant community locations. Note that the methods identify both developed and undeveloped riparian areas.

本数据集旨在识别卡尔加里主要河流和溪流旁的变宽生物物理河岸区域，数据截止于2012年。其中划分为四个独立的河岸区域：内河岸、中河岸、外河岸以及潜在的最外侧河岸。河岸边界基于全城范围内的模型，该模型由河流/溪流的距离、数字高程模型中的坡度剖面以及基于河岸植被群落位置样本的实地工作校准所驱动。请注意，该方法能够识别已开发和未开发的河岸区域。
