A Comprehensive Inventory of Alabama Coastal Zone Wetland Habitats (Swamps, Marshes, Submersed Grassbeds) from 1980 to 1982 (NCEI Accession 0161311)

Digitized maps of Mobile Bay and other coastal areas of Alabama, showing habitat types and species compositions of the vegetation in three broad categories of wetland: swamps, marshes, and submersed grassbeds. All areas in the Alabama Coastal Zone of less than 10 feet elevation above sea level, up to the fork of the Tombigbee and Alabama Rivers, were included in the inventory. Habitat boundary delineations were based on aerial photographs from 1979 and 1980, with transects by boat or foot for field verification in 1980-1982. Dataset includes habitat type classifications based on species compositions, and identifications of dominant species at each location.阿拉巴马州莫比尔湾及其他沿海区域的数字化地图，展示了三类主要湿地（沼泽、草本沼泽、沉水草本床）内的植被生境类型与物种组成。本清查涵盖阿拉巴马沿海地带内海拔低于10英尺、直至汤比格比河与阿拉巴马河交汇处的所有区域。生境边界的划定以1979年和1980年的航空摄影资料为依据，并于1980-1982年通过乘船或徒步布设样带开展野外验证。本数据集包含基于物种组成的生境类型分类结果，以及各点位的优势物种鉴定信息。
