    Abstract:
      The 2005 Kansas Land Cover Patterns (KLCP) Mapping Initiative was a two-phase mapping endeavor that occurred over a three-year period (2007-2009). Note that while the processing occurred during the 2207-2009 period, all satellite data used in the project was acquired in 2005. Concurrent with mapping the state of Kansas, the Kansas River Watershed was also mapped.  The Kansas River Watershed extends into southern Nebraska and includes a portion of eastern Colorado.  During Phase I a Modified Level I map was produced. In Phase II a series of maps, Modified Level II through IV, were produced. All KLCP 2005 map products were produced at four spatial extents: the state of Kansas plus a 300 meter buffer, a DEM-derived watershed boundary of the Kansas River, the Kansas River watershed boundary plus a 1,000 meter buffer, and a combined dataset of the state of Kansas plus 300 meter buffer and the watershed plus 1,000 meter buffer.These extents are annotated in the file names with the extentions k, w, wb, and kwb respectively.

      The goal of Phase II was to map subclasses for grassland and cropland, classes which were mapped during Phase I. For the Level II map, cool- and warm-season grasslands were mapped along with Spring Crop, Summer Crop, Alfalfa, Fallow, and Double-Crop classes. For the Level III map, the Summer Crop subclasses Corn, Soybean, and Sorghum were mapped, and the Spring Crop class was reassigned to Winter Wheat. In the Level IV map, irrigation status was mapped and added to the Level III crop type map.The Kansas Land Cover Patterns Level IV map contains twenty-four land use/land cover classes and has a positional accuracy and spatial resolution appropriate for producing 1:50,000 scale maps.  The minimum map unit (MMU) varies by land cover class and ranges from 0.22 to 5.12 acres.

      In general, the mapping methodology used a hybrid, hierarchical classification of multi-temporal, multi-resolution imagery to develop modified Anderson Level II through Anderson Level IV land cover maps of the Kansas River Watershed and the State of Kansas.  More specifically, multi-seasonal Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) imagery from the 2004 and 2005 growing season was used to map the grassland subclasses (cool- and warm-season grasslands). while MODIS NDVI time-series imagery from the 2005 growing season was used to map cropland subclasses.

      The land use/land cover classes in the Level IV map are coded hierarchically to allow aggregation of land use and land cover classes as needed by the end-user.  For example, a user can aggregate the Level IV map classes to a Level III classification by ignoring or eliminating the last digit of each land use/land cover class. Likewise, a Level II and Level I map can be created from the Level IV map by eliminating the last two and three digits, respectively, from each Level IV land use/land cover class.

      A formal accuracy assessment found the Level II, Level III, and Level IV maps to have overall accuracy levels of 86.3%, 82.0%, and 74.3%, respectively. User and Producer (per-class errors of commission and omission) accuracies vary by land cover class and users are encouraged to reference the reported accuracy levels in the final report and/or metadata when using the Kansas Land Cover Patterns map series. Digital versions of the map, metadata, and accuracy assessment can be accessed from the Data Access Support Center (http://www.kansasgis.org/) or the Kansas Applied Remote Sensing Program (http://www.kars.ku.edu/).

    Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
      More than sixteen thousand sample sites were used to generate the formal accuracy assessments.  The formal accuracy assessments consist of an error matrix, an overall accuracy figure, Cohen?s Kappa statistic (1960), and for each class, omission accuracy (often referred to as producer accuracy) and commission accuracy (user accuracy). Accuracy assessments are reported for Level II through Level IV classifications. The error matrix is hierarchical in structure, meaning that the error matrix generated for the Level IV map was aggregated (by class) to derive error matrices and associated accuracy levels for the Level III and Level II maps.

      The USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) Common Land Unit (CLU) database (attributed; Kansas only) and Kansas GAP vegetation database were used as ground-truth to assess the accuracy of the cropland, grassland, and woodland classes. Manual photo interpretation of the 2005 NAIP served as ground-truth to assess the accuracy of the urban and water classes.

      A stratified random sample by land use/land cover class was used to select sites for the accuracy assessment.  A sample site was defined as a CLU field or area of contiguous pixels.  Sample size was roughly proportionate to the percent area mapped for each land use/land cover class.  According to Congalton and Green (1991), a minimum of 75-100 samples should be used per land use/land cover class when mapping large areas.  Since the land cover map depicts landscape features (i.e., fields of cropland or grassland, stands of trees, etc.), polygon features were selected as the most appropriate sampling unit for the accuracy assessment.  The MMU for each land cover class was used as an area threshold for site selection (i.e., polygon features less than the MMU were excluded from the accuracy assessment).

        Logical_Consistency_Report  Datasets delivered to the Data Access and Support Center are quality assurance tested for major documentation and topological errors using macros. The databases are evaluated based on questions similar to the following: Does the database's documentation properly explain the dataset? Does the data import properly into its native dataset environment? Is consistent methodology used throughout the data? Are all of the database's fields and values legitimate compared to the documentation? Is the database's topology free of errors that could impair the functionality of the data? Once the dataset is tested a report is written describing the evaluation. A copy of the report is then forwarded to the data originator for his/her review. If errors are found, the data originator is expected to make any necessary corrections and then provide those corrected coverages. After these steps have been taken the dataset is considered archivable and made available for distribution. Data that is archived by DASC has been tested and corrected.

      Source_Contribution:
        Landsat TM imagery from the 2004-2005 Kansas Satellite Image Database (KSID) (Whistler et al., 2006), a database previously developed by the Kansas Applied Remote Sensing Program and funded by the Kansas State GIS Policy Board with assistance from the USGS AmericaView program, augmented with additional TM imagery to cover the Kansas River Watershed funded by the NSF EPSCoR grant, was the primary data source used to map cool- and warm-season grassland. Imagery from nineteen path/row center points was required to provide complete coverage for the state of Kansas and the Kansas River Watershed. For each path/row, the image database contains terrain-corrected spring, summer, and fall TM triplicates. All imagery was selected based on the dates of available data and minimal cloud contamination. Additional scenes were purchased by the NSF EPSCoR grant to supplement KSID triplicates that had a cloud-contaminated scene, a non-optimal date for a scene, or an inter-annual triplicate (i.e., one or more scenes from a year other than 2005). NAIP imagery from 2005 was used as a backdrop to digitize Periodic Emergent Vegetation.

        231-meter MODIS NDVI time-series data (16-day composites) from the 2005 growing season (March 22 to November 1) were used to produce the cropland subclasses for the Level II through IV maps. For each county in Kansas, and for counties in Colorado and Nebraska falling within the Kansas Watershed, USDA Quick Stats data and unattributed Common Land Unit (CLU) boundaries were used to develop the Level IV map of irrigation status by crop type.
    Process_Step:
      Process_Description:
        Process_Description  Landsat Thematic Mapper imagery was acquired for the study area for each of the three periods of the 2005 growing season - spring, summer, and fall - and was supplemented with 2004 scenes where 2005 scenes were not available.  A 12-band image stack was created for each path/row with bands 3, 4, 5 and 7 from each period.

        A supervised classification approach using See5 decision tree software (Rulequest Research Pty Ltd., 2007) and the multi-seasonal TM imagery were used to map cool- and warm-season grassland. The Kansas Vegetation Survey and the attributed CLU data were used for training and validation of the decision tree classifier. The classification methodology used a hierarchical approach, where grassland pixels in the Level I map were used to extract grassland pixels from each TM path/row stack that were then classified into the two grassland subclasses. Once the classification for all path/rows was completed, the individual maps were mosaicked to produce a study-wide grassland map. The unattributed CLU field boundary data were then used for map generalization. The CLU data fit the grassland subclasses from the mosaic into fields delineated in the CLU data. The objective was to utilize the spatial precision of field boundaries provided by the CLU data to better depict the spatial extent of both grassland and cropland classes. Following the generalization, grassland pixels in the Level I map were reassigned to their respective grassland subclasses.

        For the Level II cropland classification, a supervised classification approach using See5 decision tree software and the multi-temporal MODIS NDVI imagery were used to map the dominant crop types in the study area. The attributed CLU data were used for classification training and validation. The classification methodology utilized a hierarchical approach, where cropland pixels in the Level I map were used to extract cropland pixels from the MODIS NDVI time-series. The extracted crop pixels were then classified into the Level II crop subclasses Summer Crop, Spring Crop, Alfalfa, Fallow, and Double-Crop.

        For the Level III cropland classification, another round of supervised classification using See5 decision tree software and the multi-temporal MODIS NDVI imagery was used to map three crop types within the Level II Row Crop class. The attributed CLU data were used for classification training and validation. Again, the classification methodology utilized a hierarchical approach, where Row Crop pixels in the Level II map were used to extract a subset of pixels from the MODIS NDVI imagery. The Row Crop pixels were then classified into three specific summer crop classes: Corn, Soybeans, and Sorghum. The Level III cropland map was then resampled from 231 meters to 30 meters to match the 30-meter footprint of the Level I map. Next, the Level III cropland map was generalized using the unattributed CLU field boundary data. The cropland pixels in the Level I map were then reassigned to their respective Level III and Level II crop subclasses.

        The Level IV cropland classification depicts irrigation status by crop type and uses a different methodology than the supervised classification approach used to produce the crop classes found in the Level II and Level III maps. Irrigation status was mapped using 2005 time-series MODIS NDVI imagery, USDA Quick Stats data, unattributed CLU boundaries and the Level III cropland map. The methodology used to map irrigated croplands was based on Brown, et al., 2007.  A basic assumption of the approach is that irrigated crops possess a peak, or maximum, NDVI value higher than non-irrigated crops.  The maximum NDVI (?max NDVI?) was extracted from the 2005 MODIS NDVI time-series and then resampled from the original 231.6m to 30m to match the resolution of the Level III cropland map.  The ?Cropland? class from the Level I LULC map was then used to extract ?max NDVI? values for cropland areas.  Once extracted, the zonal average for ?max NDVI? was calculated using CLU fields as the zone grid.  This procedure assigned the same ?max NDVI? value to all pixels comprising the CLU field (i.e., zone).  ?max NDVI? values were then extracted for each crop type (i.e., alfalfa, corn, sorghum, soybeans, and wheat) using the Level III LULC map.  For each county, a threshold value for ?max NDVI? for a crop type was used to classify individual CLUs as irrigated.  The threshold value was determined by calculating the running total acres for a given crop type in descending ?max NDVI? order and then identifying the ?max NDVI? value (i.e., the target value) where the running total area most closed matched the irrigated area given in the USDA 2005 Quick Stats data.  All CLUs with ?max NDVI? values greater than or equal to the target value were mapped as irrigated.  Once all crop types had been processed, the individual irrigated crop types were merged to form an Irrigated Crops map.  The Irrigated Crops map was then used to reassign crop type pixels in the Level III map as irrigated or non-irrigated to produce the Level IV map.
