Florida Natural Areas Inventory 19991200 20010000 SHAPE http://www.fnai.org This dataset contains occurrences of endangered or rare plants and animals, high quality natural communities and other occurrences of natural resource interest in the FNAI database. This dataset contains occurrences of endangered or rare plants and animals, high quality natural communities and other occurrences of natural resource interest in the FNAI database. This is a point data layer locating the occurrences of endangered or rare plants and animals, high quality natural communities and other occurrences of natural resource interest in the FNAI database. An "Element" is any exemplary or rare component of the natural environment, such as a species, plant community, bird rookery, spring, sinkhole, cave or other ecological features. An "Element Occurrence" (EO) represents the locational records of an element and is a single extant habitat which sustains or otherwise contributes to the survival of a population or a distinct, self-sustaining example or a particular natural community. More notes regarding Item definitions and ranking explanations: FNAI global rank, FNAI state rank, federal status, and state status An element is any exemplary or rare component of the natural environment, such as a species, natural community, bird rookery, spring, sinkhole, cave, or other ecological feature. An element occurrence (EO) is a single extant habitat that sustains or otherwise contributes to the survival of a population or a distinct, self-sustaining example of a particular element. The major function of the Florida Natural Areas Inventory is to define the state's elements of natural diversity, then collect information about each element occurrence. The Florida Natural Areas Inventory assigns two ranks for each element. The global element rank is based on an element's worldwide status; the state element rank is based on the status of the element in Florida. Element ranks are based on many factors, the most important ones being estimated number of Element occurrences, estimated abundance (number of individuals for species; area for natural communities), range, estimated adequately protected EOs, relative threat of destruction, and ecological fragility. 19991200 19991200 Occurrences Complete Irregular -87.429040 -79.872251 30.983191 24.492815 NONE Florida Natural Areas Inventory species FNAI conservation planning animals US Endangered Species Act NONE Florida Southeast United States Southeast U.S. NONE 1990s NONE THE DATA INCLUDED IN THIS APPLICATION ARE BASED ON INTERPRETATION OF AVAILABLE INFORMATION AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING. Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale data sets are not suitable for some projects, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale data sets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale data sets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:250000 scale data sets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. For more information, visit: http://www.fnai.org Florida Natural Areas Inventory 19991200 Map Relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data layer. Certain node/geometry and topology (GT)-polygon/chain relationships are collected or generated to satisfy topological requirements. Some of these requirements include: chains must begin and end at nodes, chains must connect to each other at nodes, chains do not extend through nodes, left and right GT-polygons are defined for each chain element and are consistent throughout the transfer, and the chains representing the limits of the file (neatline) are free of gaps. The neatline is generated by connecting the four corners of the digital file, as established during initialization of the digital file. All data outside the enclosed region are ignored and all data crossing these geographically straight lines are clipped at the neatline. (Exception: During the QA/QC process all data is examined and if errors are found and corrections are possible, then data is corrected accordingly. This process is documented in the Process_Step.) Data within a specified tolerance of the neatline are snapped to the neatline. Neatline straightening aligns the digitized edges of the digital data with the generated neatline, that is, with the longitude/latitude lines in geographic coordinates. All internal polygons are tested for closure. Certain attributes and/or entities, e.g. closure line, convey data quality information. When information to be encoded in the subfield is known to be not applicable (undefined, not relevant), then the subfield is valued by a string of "9s"; and when the information to be encoded is relevant but unknown (or missing), then the subfield is valued by a string of "9s."
