GIS01: GIS coverages defining internal boundaries of Konza Prairie

General Information
Data Package:
Local Identifier:knb-lter-knz.201.5
Title:GIS01: GIS coverages defining internal boundaries of Konza Prairie
Alternate Identifier:GIS01
Alternate Identifier:DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:

This dataset defines the internal boundaries of the Konza Prairie Biological Station (KPBS).  Data type one (GIS010) is a record of all fenced areas on KPBS with GIS011 providing locations for all gates and type of gate (exterior, bison, and cattle). Data type three (GIS012) represents various large-scale research areas on Konza including bison grazed, cattle grazed, fire reversal, etc. These data are available as zipped (.zip) shapefiles (.shp).

Data Entities
Spatial Vector Name:
GIS010: Konza Fences
Description:
The internal fenced area on Konza Prairie.
Spatial Vector Name:
GIS011: Konza Gates
Description:
This datset is a spatially explicit record of the internal and external gates on Konza Prairie. Gates are found in boundary fences, cattle fences, and bison fences.
Spatial Vector Name:
GIS012: Konza Internal Research Areas
Description:
The core long term research at Konza is located in six geographically distinct regions of the LTER site. Those regions are represented here, they are the bison grazing, cattle grazing, fire reversal, seasonal burning, Kings Creek watershed, and headquarters regions.
