Abstract

    FEMC partners at the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (RI DEM) expressed interest in using spatial data currently available to better characterize riparian areas in Rhode Island. 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.
