Quality
There was no formal assessment of attribute accuracy. The values of the
attributes were predetermined with the source data sets. A visual on-screen comparison was performed to ensure the length of transect lines matched the joined attributes. A visual on-screen check was done on the data. There are no omissions within the data set. The quality of the derived data set is equal to the quality of the data set sources.
Access Constraints
It is strongly recommended that this data is directly acquired from the
distributor described above or from another USGS Biological Resources Division server and not indirectly through other sources which may have changed the data in some way. The distributor makes no claims as to the data's suitability for other purposes.
