Kansas Landtype Associations
Kansas Land Type Associations (LTAs) were drafted by characterizing landforms using Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) and intersecting the results with geology and soils data layers. LTAs circumscribe relatively homogeneous geolandforms, which in turn control vegetation patterns and management options.
MoRAP modeled landforms of Kansas based on 30-meter digital elevation models, and used existing ecoregion delineations to draft a land type association (LTA) data layer for Kansas. For more information email Melissa Bates at Melissa_Bates@usgs.gov.
We used landform models, geology, soils, and previous work on ecoregions to model the landtype associations for Kansas. These data were delivered for use by workers in Kansas, and were used in several other related analyses, including the conservation focus area project for EPA Region 7.
