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.University of Rhode Island Riparian Data LayerUniversity of Rhode Island Riparian Data LayerVMC.1810.3999mySQL/femc/data/archive/project/rhode-island-cropland-and-forest-data-layer/dataset/university-rhode-island-riparian-data-layer2021-12-07No AttributesNo Definitionno data
