Land Cover
Land Cover information describes the predominant physical and cultural features that make up our landscape.
Land cover is classified into categories using the Florida Land Use and Cover Classification System (FLUCCS), which is a hierarchical system that groups similar types of land cover.
In Florida, the Water Management Districts and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection have mapped
detailed land cover in the state three times - 1990, 1995, and 2000.
Use land cover information to:
- Analyze growth patterns.
- Determine wetland locations and types.
- Evaluate potential wetlands losses or impacts.
