A variety of government and non-government organizations in Missouri and Illinois have provided assessments of ecological significance, but the results of these are not comparable are not comparable across the region (Table 1). Our goal was to generate new current vegetation maps and use the most consistent available data on variables important to ecological significance in order to provide a standardized, scientifically sound ecological significance data layer for the East-West Gateway planning region.In 2010, the Missouri Resource Assessment Partnership (MoRAP), working with the East-West Gateway Council of Governments, in conjunction with the Council's Ecological Approach to Infrastructure Development Initiative, produced a current vegetation map of the region as part of an effort to define ecological significance. This product used satellite remote sensing in concert with air photos and information from digital soils maps. The map is five times more detailed (60 classes versus 12), with 25 times the spatial resolution (6 m versus 30 m) of the standard national land cover map produced by the USGS. Detailed methods for development of this data layer can be found in a separate report from the East-West Gateway Council of Governments, and also posted here:
