The USFWS National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) Program has produced digital wetland data for all of the coterminous United States (48 states), Hawaii, and 35 percent of Alaska. Although these data represent a wealth of information about U.S. wetlands, they lack hydrogeomorphic and other characteristics needed to perform assessments of wetland functions over broad geographic areas. Using geographic information system (GIS) technology and geospatial databases, it is now possible to predict wetland functions for watersheds - a major natural resource planning unit. Recognizing the need to better describe wetlands from the abiotic standpoint the Service developed a set of dichotomous keys for use with NWI data
that provides descriptors for landscape position, landform, water flow path, and waterbody type (LLWW descriptors). |
