Abstract: Wetands and Vegetation for Volusia County. This layer, named “Wetlands Vegetation 24K (SJRWMD)”, was downloaded from St Johns River Water Management District and not maintained by the County Environmental Staff. Please use caution when using this data. All questions about this data should be directed to SJRWMD. Entity_and_Attribute_Overview: A unique classification system was developed for this project, with terms that are commonly used in this part of Florida. It provides classification at several levels (land form, community, species) into a single character string. The levels coded for each polygon are not consistent - most codes indicate plant community, but for some polygons species type and/or landform are included. This provides useful information, but it may make automated analysis difficult. For shading purposes, only the first two characters of the code are used. Added symbology (*, /, -) indicate degree of inclusion, over/under story, and sub levels. A number of modifiers, infrequently used, mainly indicate management status.
Update Frequency: Unknown. Check with SJRWMD for updates. Last update 2/2019.
