Base data for three focal landscapes in Wisconsin used for grassland bird conservation

Boundaries, roads, and land cover for 3 (three) focal landscapes and 10 (ten) grassland bird conservation areas in Wisconsin are provided in GIS format. Land cover for the focal landscapes was characterized using satellite imagery from the 2013 growing season.Land cover was characterized in 3 (three) focal landscapes and embedded grassland bird conservation areas in Wisconsin as part of a project to establish baseline measures of bird populations and land use against which the impact of conservation actions to benefit grassland birds could be assessed.Original metadata date is 02/22/2019. Minor metadata updates were made on 11/13/2019.

本数据集提供美国威斯康星州3处重点景观与10处草原鸟类保护区的边界、道路及土地覆被数据，数据格式为地理信息系统（Geographic Information System, GIS）格式。上述重点景观的土地覆被信息基于2013年生长季的卫星影像解译获取。作为本项目的一部分，研究团队针对威斯康星州的3处重点景观及内嵌的草原鸟类保护区开展土地覆被表征工作，旨在建立鸟类种群与土地利用的基线指标，以此评估针对草原鸟类的保护行动所产生的影响。原始元数据的生成日期为2019年2月22日，并于2019年11月13日完成了元数据的小幅更新。
