Advisory: All 2003 estimates only represent 2003
conditions and cannot be used to evaluate changes from previous inventory
cycles. A release of 2003 estimates with supplemental estimates that will
compare net change and land cover/use dynamics with previous inventories is
planned.
Definitions of NRI Land Cover/Use Categories:
Cropland
- cultivated and non-cultivated land used for the production of adapted crops
for harvest.
Conservation
Reserve Program (CRP) - land under a CRP contract. CRP is a federal
program established under the Food Security Act of 1985 to assist private land
owners in converting highly erodible cropland to vegetative cover for 10 years.
Pastureland
- land used for the production of introduced forage plants for livestock
grazing.
Rangeland
- land on which the climax vegetation is composed of native grasses, grass-like
plants, forbs or shrubs suitable for grazing or browsing and introduced forages
species managed as rangeland.
Forest land
- land that is at lease 10 percent stocked by single-stemmed woody species with
an aerial canopy cover of 25 percent or greater.
Other Rural
Land - land that includes farmsteads and other farm structures, field
windbreaks, barren land and marshland.
Developed
Land - a combination of land cover/use categories including small and large
urban and built-up areas and rural transportation land (highways, roads,
railroads and associated rights-of-ways outside urban and built-up areas).
Water -
water bodies and streams that are permanent open water.
Federal Land
- land owed by the federal government, excluding trust lands administered by
federal agencies.
