20210331 15460000 1.0 TRUE Alberta Merged Wetland Inventory Index <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;font-size:12pt"><DIV><P><SPAN>This group of layers represents the Alberta Merged Wetland Inventory Index outline and outline with fill. The Alberta Merged Wetland Inventory Index depicts the extent of the current coverage of wetlands within Alberta at the regional and provincial scales using the best available information, represented with an outline layer and outline with a fill area layer. This dataset is produced for the Government of Alberta and is available to the general public. Please consult the Distribution Information of this metadata for the appropriate contact to acquire this dataset. Note that the Alberta Merged Wetland Inventory product replaces the previously released Alberta Canadian Wetland Classification System (CWCS) Merged Wetland Inventory data from November 6, 2013 and the Alberta Merged Wetland Inventory for July 15, 2014. The Alberta Merged Wetland Inventory depicts wetlands within the province of Alberta, Canada for the period 1998 to 2015 classified to the five major classes in the Canadian Wetland Classification System (CWCS). These five major classes include bog, fen, marsh, swamp and shallow open water. For the purposes of this inventory, shallow open water includes all open water. The Alberta Merged Wetland Inventory is a generalized, merged product of 32 component wetland inventories that utilized different types of source data from different years, different data capture specifications and different classifications. Considerable variation in the level of detail and accuracy is present in this dataset. Accuracy assessments have been included where available but it should be noted that the geoprocessing applied to the data may have introduced additional error. All of the polygons have been assigned both a CWCS class and an extent. The extent identifies the component wetland inventory project area. At the present time, wetland data are not available for the entire province. There are data gaps along the eastern slopes and in Wood Buffalo National Park. An overedge exists along portions of the provincial boundary. There are two associated feature classes: the Alberta Merged Wetland Inventory and the Alberta Merged Wetland Inventory Status. The wetland inventory data are captured as the Alberta Merged Wetland Inventory feature class and the information associated with the component inventories is captured as the Alberta Merged Wetland Inventory Status feature class. The funding partners for the component inventories include: Ducks Unlimited Canada; Ducks Unlimited Inc.; Government of Alberta (Environment and Parks); United States Forest Service (USFS); United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS); North American Waterfowl Conservation Act (NAWCA); The PEW Charitable Trusts; Canadian Boreal Initiative; Alberta-Pacific Forest Products Inc. (ALPAC); Environment Canada; Canadian Space Agency; Lakeland Industry and Community Association (LICA); Imperial Oil Resources; Shell Canada; Suncor Energy Foundation; Weyerhaeuser Company Limited; and Encana Corporation.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV> Copyright Government of Alberta biota geoscientific information inland Waters wetland lentic marsh bog fen open water swamp lotic This group of layers represents the Alberta Merged Wetland Inventory Index outline and outline with fill. <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;font-size:12pt"><P><SPAN>Data Use limitations</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>General Public: This digital data is protected under copyright to the Government of Alberta with all rights reserved and is subject to the conditions outlined in the Informatics Branch License Agreement for Digital Data.
