Where possible, always acquire this dataset directly from FWC as other sources may have altered the original data.The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist. Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

A note about data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation.

This current model called "Florida Landscape Assessment Model (FLAM)" replaces the Integrated Wildlife Habitat Ranking System (IWHRS 2009).<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The FLAM layer was developed from 15 spatial variables. The variables were created from various sources including FWC, FNAI, and LCC. In general, the variables are based on species habitat, managed areas, disturbed areas, natural area connectivity, and aquatic resources. Each variable was assigned a weight to determine its influence on the final model. After weighting, the variables were summed and a categorized into 10 classes using a quantile classification method. A transportation (e.g. paved roads) variable (value = 0) was burned on top of the summed layer so the final model had 11 classes ranging from 0-10 where 0 = worst and 10 = best landscape quality. A more detailed description can be found in the accompanying document entitled "FLAM Methods_IWHRS udpate"</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>FWRI -CSA (Mark Barrett)1-87.639378-79.81361231.04253324.3561172023-11-01T00:00:00landscape assessmentNo restrictions on metadataFWRI-MCMetadata must be distributed with the data set.Metadata must be distributed with the data set.24905015.0000004979615.0000001052652.496500 45835.78450052652.496500 781570.784500799592.496500 781570.784500799592.496500 45835.784500426122.496500 413703.28450020231114094812001.020241209164603001500000005000FGDCProjectedGCS_North_American_1983_HARNLinear Unit: Meter (1.000000)FDEP_Albers_HARN<ProjectedCoordinateSystem xsi:type='typens:ProjectedCoordinateSystem' xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xmlns:xs='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' xmlns:typens='http://www.esri.com/schemas/ArcGIS/3.3.0'><WKT>PROJCS["FDEP_Albers_HARN",GEOGCS["GCS_North_American_1983_HARN",DATUM["D_North_American_1983_HARN",SPHEROID["GRS_1980",6378137.0,298.257222101]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]],PROJECTION["Albers"],PARAMETER["False_Easting",400000.0],PARAMETER["False_Northing",0.0],PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",-84.0],PARAMETER["Standard_Parallel_1",24.0],PARAMETER["Standard_Parallel_2",31.5],PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Origin",24.0],UNIT["Meter",1.0]]</WKT><XOrigin>-19550100</XOrigin><YOrigin>-7526400</YOrigin><XYScale>225743210.67916927</XYScale><ZOrigin>-100000</ZOrigin><ZScale>10000</ZScale><MOrigin>-100000</MOrigin><MScale>10000</MScale><XYTolerance>0.001</XYTolerance><ZTolerance>0.001</ZTolerance><MTolerance>0.001</MTolerance><HighPrecision>true</HighPrecision></ProjectedCoordinateSystem>4FALSELZW1TIFFTRUEcontinuousunsigned integer15file://F:\EST-COMMON-DATA\etdmpy\rasters\FWC_FLAM_2023.tifLocal Area NetworkFWC_FLAM_2023.tif00252652.496500799592.49650045835.784500781570.78450012024120916414800FGDC CSDGM MetadataFALSEBand_110.0000000.0000004FalseFalseFalseFalseFalseFWC_FLAM_2023Table11FWC_FLAM_2023OIDOIDOID400Internal feature number.EsriSequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated.ValueValueInteger1010011 classes ranging from 0–10 where 0 = worst and 10 = best landscape qualityCountCountDouble1900Count of valuesDESCRIPTField added by GeoPlan based on Value.GeoPlanDESCRIPTString5000datasetSpatial and Attribute InformationGeoPlan downloaded this data on 11/23/24 from the following link:
