Name change for GAP’s National Land Cover Dataset
GAP’s National Land Cover Dataset has a new name: GAP/LANDFIRE National Terrestrial Ecosystems.
In conjunction with changes within the Federal Geographic Data Committee, National Geospatial Data Asset (FGDC NGDA) Biodiversity and Ecosystems Theme, the theme’s leadership proposed and had accepted a formal name change for GAP’s National Land Cover Dataset. The new name, GAP/LANDFIRE National Terrestrial Ecosystems, conveys the ecological richness of the map legend and the ongoing collaboration between the National GAP and LANDFIRE Programs.
