LANDFIRE Remap 2016 Public Exotics Events AK

The LANDFIRE (LF) Remap Public Exotics feature class is a compilation of exotic or invasive plant species perimeters that were reported between 1999 and 2016. The Public Exotics feature class includes a subset of the full suite of data that were used in the production of LANDFIRE 2008 Refresh (LF 1.1.0), LANDFIRE 2010 (LF 1.2.0), LANDFIRE 2012 (LF 1.3.0), LANDFIRE 2014 (LF 1.4.0), and LANDFIRE Remap (LF 2.0.0) program deliverables. According to agreements between LANDFIRE and its data contributors, certain proprietary or otherwise sensitive data were removed to create this publicly available version. For more information about the data sources included and excluded from this release, please consult the Source_Code look up table found at: http://www.landfire.gov/publicevents.php. The data were collected from disparate sources including federal, state, local, and private organizations, and systematically converted to the standard LANDFIRE Exotics format. Any geospatial or information content errors that were identified were eliminated and species names or codes were converted to Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) scientific names ca. December 2013. Up to ten species and their associated percent cover (absolute) or infestation level (P = present, L = low, M = moderate, H = high) were reported for each unique polygon. If there was no percent cover or infestation level listed for particular exotics species it was assigned a P for present.
