Overview of Vegetation Community/Land Cover Maps
Maps used in the analysis of the changes in the Piney Point Tract of Assawoman Wildlife Area are below (Figures 1-4). Vegetation Community names follow the Guide to Delaware Vegetation Communities/Land Covers¹, which closely follows the US National Vegetation Classification System. Tidal water features follow the Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS)². Larger versions of the maps are in the attachments at the bottom of the page.
