The University of Florida and Florida Department of Environmental Protection has been involved in the development of the Florida Ecological Greenway Network plan. The key elements considered in the formation of the greenway were land use, critical habitats for native species, ecologically important natural communities, wetlands, floodplains, primitive areas, and important aquatic ecosystems.

Multiple datasets showing agricultural land use dating from 1700 to 2007 for 175 crops. Historic Croplands Dataset, 1700-1992: ... GIS data for State of Florida ; Name
GIS data represents phenomena that exist in the real world, such as roads, land use, elevation, trees, waterways, and states. The most common types of phenomena that are represented in data can be divided into two conceptualizations: discrete objects (e.g., a house, a road) and continuous fields (e.g., rainfall amount or population density).
Once the Hg concentration data was gathered, a schematic model has been prepared for GIS input, which consisted of a digital elevation model (DEM), a satellite land use map, and EARS data. [ 3 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] [ 2 ] Using the inverse distance weighted (IDW) method from geostatistical tools in ArcGIS 9.3, a raster model of the Hg concentration has ...
A Land Information System (LIS) is a geographic information system for cadastral and land-use mapping, typically used by local governments. [1]A LIS consists of an accurate, current and reliable land record cadastre and its associated attribute and spatial data that represent the legal boundaries of land tenure and provides a vital base layer capable of integration into other geographic ...
Land development and water use have transformed the state, primarily through drainage and infill of the wetlands that once covered most of the peninsula. Much of Florida consists of karst limestone veined with water-filled caves and sinkholes, [2] which provide homes to many species of aquatic life, some unique to particular Florida locations. [3]
This Florida couple bought a vacant lot for $17,500 — but now they’ve discovered they’re barred by law from building on the new property. Here’s why and how to avoid a similar situation
When computers began to be used for mapping and GIS, the state plane system's cartesian grid system and simplified calculations made spatial processing faster and spatial data easier to work with. Even though computer processing power has improved radically since the early days of GIS, the size of spatial datasets and the complexity of ...
