topic NLCD clipping? in ArcGIS Mapping and Charting Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-mapping-and-charting-questions/nlcd-clipping/m-p/445679#M1508 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I am currently working on&nbsp;describing land cover&nbsp;for habitats where my study species is using the Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics (MRLC) Consortium National Land Cover Database. I am taking GPS points where these animals have been found and including 100m and 1000m buffers. The issue that I am having is that output for different points/buffers end up being different sizes. This is because the NLCD breaks down land cover into 30m pixels, so if the buffer includes even a small portion of one of these pixels that entire pixel will be included in the area. I am standardizing the areas to give percent cover, so I think this minimizes the issue. However, I do not want to disproportionately include some pixels that need not be included. Is there a way to resolve this issue and made it so the output is the same area for each GPS point?&nbsp;</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 27 Apr 2020 18:51:36 GMT PadraicRobinson 2020-04-27T18:51:36Z NLCD clipping? https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-mapping-and-charting-questions/nlcd-clipping/m-p/445679#M1508 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I am currently working on&nbsp;describing land cover&nbsp;for habitats where my study species is using the Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics (MRLC) Consortium National Land Cover Database.
