Name: Cotton - Marginal: Contig. to Aquatic Corridor
Display Field:
Type: Raster Layer
Geometry Type: null
Description: Cotton cropland (minimum size - 5 acres) on marginal soils contiguous to a forest patch at least 10 acres in area and contiguous to an aquatic corridor. In this case "marginal soil" is where the National Commodity Crop Productivity Index (Overall) value within a given field is less than 0.4. CDL 2013/NLCD 2011/Gridded SSURGO 2014. Corridors generated by The Conservation Fund as part of the Midwest Wind Energy Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) and NiSource MSHCP processes.

Description: Cotton (includes double-cropped classes e.g. "Dbl Crop Win Wht/Cotton" (2013 Cropland Data Layer)) areas at least 5 acres in size, with National Commodity Crop Productivity Index (Overall) values less than 0.4, located within the Mississippi River Basin.

Description: Borders (30-meters wide)* of cotton fields (minimum size - 5 acres) located in areas impoverished of natural herbaceous cover (NLCD 2011 Herbaceous/Scrub-shrub/Emergent wetlands) within the Mississippi River Basin. Cotton fields impoverished of nearby natural cover are those with less than 90 cells (8.1 ha/20 acres or 4%) of herbaceous cover within a half-mile. *30 meters is the minimum width possible for analysis due to resolution of input data. (NLCD - 2011/Cropland Data Layer - 2013)
