Specifically, RI DEM is interested in a usable data layer that identifies forest cover in riparian buffers near agricultural lands. To achieve this, FEMC overlayed forest-type raster data, agricultural land data, and riparian buffer zones. The products provide RI DEM with an analysis to inform decision-making for conservation planning, land management, and water quality stewardship efforts in Rhode Island.Rhode Island Cropland and Forest Data LayerRussellAlanaDonisvitchSorenPetersonJacobagricultureforest typeriparian bufferRGIS Forest Habitat2023-10-12Published as a tile layer, the 2020 Forest Habitat layer for Rhode Island was created to help in forest management for wildlife.

This is a statewide digital 1 m resolution dataset of land cover for the State of Rhode Island based on NOAA CCAP 2016 land cover enhanced with additional forest classes including upland and wetland evergreen and mixed forests.
