Attributes for MRB_E2RF1 Catchments by Major River Basins in the Conterminous United States: NLCD 2001 Tree Canopy
This tabular data set represents the mean percent tree canopy from the Canopy Layer of the National Land Cover Dataset 2001
(LaMotte and Wieczorek, 2010), compiled for every MRB_E2RF1 catchment of Major River Basins (MRBs, Crawford and others,
2006). The source data set represents tree canopy percentage for the conterminous United States for 2001. The Canopy Layer
of the National Land Cover Data Set for 2001 was produced through a cooperative project conducted by the Multi-Resolution
Land Characteristics (MRLC) Consortium. The MRLC Consortium is a partnership of Federal agencies (http://www.mrlc.gov),
consisting of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), the
National Park Service (NPS), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and the
USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).
The MRB_E2RF1 catchments are based on a modified version of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA) ERF1_2
and include enhancements to support national and regional-scale surface-water quality modeling (Nolan and others, 2002; Brakebill
and others, 2011).
Data were compiled for every MRB_E2RF1 catchment for the conterminous United States covering New England and Mid-Atlantic
(MRB1), South Atlantic-Gulf and Tennessee (MRB2), the Great Lakes, Ohio, Upper Mississippi, and Souris-Red-Rainy (MRB3),
the Missouri (MRB4), the Lower Mississippi, Arkansas-White-Red, and Texas-Gulf (MRB5), the Rio Grande, Colorado, and the
Great basin (MRB6), the Pacific Northwest (MRB7) river basins, and California (MRB8).
