Description:
Abstract:
Phragmites 1994 is a 1:12,000-scale, polygon feature-based layer that includes areas where phragmites existed in 1994 along the lower Connecticut River corridor from the towns of Portland and Cromwell south to Long Island Sound.  This layer was published at the same time as the Phragmites 1968 layer in order to depict the historic differences in phragmites growth between 1968 and 1994.  The Phragmites 1994 layer was compiled using 1:12,000 black and white digital orthophotos obtained from the Nature Conservancy of Connecticut.  This data represents a particular point in time (1994).  It is not updated and does not depcit current conditions.  Features are polygon locations that represent the approximate location of phragmites growth in 1994.  Attribute information is comprised of the NAME94 attribute that identifies one of 25 general locations of phragmites growth.  Other attributes include AV_LEGEND that depicts the existence of phragmites, and ACREAGE that depicts the size of each polygon in acres.  Data was compiled at a 1:12,000 scale.
Purpose:
Phragmites 1994 is 1:12,000 scale data that depicts the locations of phragmites growth in 1994.  Use this layer to show the extent of phragmites growth in 1994 along the lower Connecticut River corridor.  In addition, this layer can be used with Phragmites 1968 that depicts the locations of phragmites growth in 1968.  The use of both of these layers can more clearly demonstrate the extent of invasive growth of phragmites between 1968 and 1994.  Not intended for maps printed at map scales greater or more detailed than 1:12,000 scale (1 inch = 1,000 feet).
Supplemental_Information:
For additional information, refer to the complete report generated as a result of the study that commissioned the publication of the Phragmites 1968 and Phragmites 1994 layers.   This report is entitled "Spatial Pattern of Phragmites Australis (CAV) Trin ex Steuf. Within the Tidelands of the Connecticut River, 1994"  and was authored by Nels Barrett (United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service, 344 Merrow Road, Suite A., Tolland, Connecticut 06084 USA) and Sandy Prisloe (University of Connecticut Cooperative Extension System, College of Agricultural and Natural Resources, P.O.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The Phragmites 1994 layer retains the feature types and information identified by the State of Connecticut, Department of Environmental Protection and obtained from 1994 digital orthophotos.  Accuracy level of attributes is not known.  The AV_LEGEND attribute contains the string "Phragmites" for every feature.  The NAME94 field identifies the particular location (32 total locations) of the feature.  The ACREAGE attribute is a calculated field that depicts the area in acres of each feature.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Polygon features conform to the following topological rules. Polygons are single part. There are no duplicate polygons. Polygons do not self overlap. Polygons do not overlap other polygons.  No automated procedures or tests were performed to guarantee desired topology other than visual inspection.
Completeness_Report:
The completeness of the data reflects the feature content of the data sources, which include the digital orthophotos (Source 1).  The Phragmites 1994 layer is complete in the sense that it accurately reflects 1994 phragmites information available at the time the layer was created.  This data is not updated and represents a particular point in time (1968).  This layer is not a complete representation of all of the phragmites areas in the State of Connecticut.  
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Horizontal accuracy of this layer is consistent only with the source data (1:12,000 scale digital orthophotos) from which features were compiled.  Feature locations were determined by using a stereoscope with the 1:12,000 orthophotos and identifying ground control points, e.g., large boulders, road/stream crossings, intersections, etc., on the photos.  An overall horizontal accuracy level cannot be determined.

This data source refers to all features combined in one statewide layer. Since initial publication in 1995, a subsequent edition of the layer was generated by the State of Connecticut in order to convert from NAD 27 to NAD 83.  Changes made to the entire layer are reflected in metadata process steps where this particular data source is cited as both the Source Used and the Source Produced.

Process_Description:
Using a stereoscope and the 1:12,000 scale 1994 orthophotos, the phragmites invasive extent was manually interpreted by an ecologist, then transferred along with ground control points, e.g., large boulders, road/stream crossings, intersections, etc., to mylar overlays (Source 2).

Using coordinates for the ground control points obtained from Digital Ortho Quarter Quads (DOQQs), the scanned imagery was rectified using Blue Marble Geographics Geographic Transformer software.  The registration of each aerial photograph and overlay used anywhere from five to fifty-three control points depending on the distribution of phragmites in the photograph, and was output to Connecticut State Plane Coordinates, NAD 27.

Overview_Description:
Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
Includes Phragmites 1968 features such as the location and size of the polygon.  Attributes include AV_LEGEND, which identifies the polygon as phragmites, ACREAGE, which identifies the size of the polygon in acres, and NAME68, which identifies the general location (one of 25 areas) of the feature.  This layer is best symbolized as a single feature type.
