Cover Class Description C-CAP: Shrub-Scrub cover classes (after application of the GIS mask). This category contains vegetation that is < 6 meters (20 feet) in height. The species include true shrubs, young trees, and trees or shrubs that are small or stunted because of environmental Shrub-Scrub Upland codtns conditions. EDC: Shrub-Scrub classes had >70% shrub (woody vegetation <8 ft high) cover. C-CAP: Deciduous Forested Wetland is characterized by woody vegetation > 6-m in height. Deciduous Forest Upland EDC: We defined forested classes as having compositions > 60% of broadleaved vegetation. C-CAP: Evergreen Forested Wetland is characterized by woody vegetation > 6-m in height Coniferous Forest Upland EDC: We defined forested classes as having compositions > 60% of conifers. C-CAP: Mixed Forested Wetland includes all forested areas where both evergreen and deciduous trees are growing and Mixed Forest Upland neither predominates. EDC: Mixed forest classes had proportions of conifers to deciduous ranging from 40/60 to 50/50.
