Description: To create thiswetland inventory for the Miistakis Institute, a pixel-based land cover classification was the primary data input. The provincial guidelines for mapping wetlands in the Prairie/Parkland zones of Alberta (GOA 2020) were also considered when creating the wetland inventory. Specifically, this inventory uses the Alberta Wetland Classification System (AESRD 2015) to assign a wetland class to each wetland, and the inventory meets the minimum mapping unit (MMU) standard of 0.04 ha specified in the provincial guideline. This file contains the land cover class polygons associated with each wetland object.
