Interior Habitat Indicator for Alberta

Interior Habitat Indicator for Alberta Alberta Environment and Parks developed an Interior habitat indicator for the province of Alberta. The indicator is the percentage area outside of a set distance from human footprint, and can be calculated for the entire province or a specific area where human footprint data are available. This dataset provides values for all Hydrologic Unit Code 8 (HUC 8) watersheds in Alberta for 2010, 2014, 2016 and 2018. The distance at which an area was considered interior habitat was estimated using rounded buffers from the edges of the wall-to-wall Human Footprint Inventories produced by the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI). 2024-05-08 Government of Alberta EPA.Planning@gov.ab.ca Form DescriptorsNature and EnvironmentScience and Technology-CANADAALBERTAEDGE-EFFECTSENVIRONMENTFIXED-BUFFERHARVEST-AREA-RECOVERYHUMAN-FOOTPRINTINTERIOR-HABITATGovernment information Interior Habitat Indicator for Alberta - (HTML)HTML https://geodiscover.alberta.ca/geoportal/rest/metadata/item/84ed95c813384adc81a77b6b001feb5a/html Original metadata (https://open.alberta.ca/opendata)HTML https://open.alberta.ca/opendata/bc28ecbc-6011-4e63-a9d4-d1ac01a2ebbd Interior Habitat Indicator for Alberta - (XML)XML https://geodiscover.alberta.ca/geoportal/rest/metadata/item/84ed95c813384adc81a77b6b001feb5a/xml Interior Habitat Indicator for Alberta (SHP) (From Alberta Geodiscorver Portal metadata)ZIP https://extranet.gov.ab.ca/srd/geodiscover/srd_pub/environment/InteriorHabitatIndicator.zip
