Specifically, RI DEM is interested in a usable data layer that identifies forest cover in riparian buffers near agricultural lands. To achieve this, FEMC overlayed forest-type raster data, agricultural land data, and riparian buffer zones. The products provide RI DEM with an analysis to inform decision-making for conservation planning, land management, and water quality stewardship efforts in Rhode Island.Rhode Island Cropland and Forest Data LayerRussellAlanaDonisvitchSorenPetersonJacobagricultureforest typeriparian bufferUniversity of Rhode Island Riparian Data Layer2021-12-07University of Rhode Island Riparian Data LayerVMC.1810.3999mySQLhttps://www.uvm.edu/femc/CI4/data/archive/project/rhode-island-cropland-and-forest-data-layer/dataset/university-rhode-island-riparian-data-layer
