Geospatial workflow to combine USDA-NASS Cropland Data Layer (CDL) and LANDFIRE National Vegetation Classification (NVC) rasters to produce ‘Spatial Products for Agriculture and Nature’ (SPAN). Panel A shows input raster layers. Panel B shows results of reclassifying NVC agricultural pixels to CDL values. Mismatched pixels in Panel B were the result of conflicts between the NVC and CDL (see Table 1 for class matches). We resolved pixel conflicts by assigning mismatched pixels to the most common CDL agricultural class within a 3 pixel radius (Panel C). When there were no proximate CDL agricultural pixels, we could not resolve mismatch, leaving some unresolved pixels in our final SPAN rasters (Panel C). Top and bottom rows are, respectively, all classes of land cover and land cover reclassified to binary agriculture or non-agriculture. The binary representation of land cover is for visualization purposes only. The data products we produced and archived contain all classes of land cover.
