Abstract:
The North Carolina Department of Environment and
Natural Resources, Division of Parks and Recreation,
Natural Heritage Program in cooperation with the NC Center
for Geographic Information & Analysis, developed the digital
Natural Heritage Element Occurrences data for research or
planning projects that will contribute to better protection
for the ecological features involved.  The file enables the
user to identify locations of rare and endangered species
populations and occurrences of exemplary or unique natural
ecosystems (terrestrial and palustrine) and special wildlife
habitats. This file covers the state of North Carolina.
Due to its dynamic nature, this data becomes outdated very
quickly.
Purpose:
This data was created to assist governmental agencies and
others in making resource management decisions through use
of a Geographic Information System (GIS).
Supplemental_Information:
An extensive tabular database is maintained by the Natural
Heritage Program. Other data that can be accessed include
element occurrence identification number.
Supplemental materials are also available that indicate the
state, national, and global status of the rare plants and
animals of North Carolina. These publications are available
from the NHP and are helpful in understanding each natural
heritage record. (SEE CROSS REFERENCES)
NATURAL HERITAGE PROGRAM DATA
The Natural Heritage Program is the state's most comprehensive
source of information on rare and endangered animals and
plants, and exemplary natural communities, known collectively
as "elements of natural diversity."  Since 1976, the program
has systematically gathered information on the occurrence and
the status of the state's ecological resources.  The inventory
consists of information compiled from a broad range of sources
including herbarium and museum collections, published and
unpublished literature, and field surveys by volunteers,
contracted workers, and staff. Information from and
interpretation of this database for specific sites is
available from the Natural Heritage Program.  This is generally
the preferred method of getting information on elements of
natural diversity.  The geographic content of the Natural
Heritage Program element occurrence database has also been
incorporated into the NC OneMap database where it can be combined with
other geographic data for planning and analysis.  Users of the
data must, however, be aware of the nature and limitations of
the data.
LIMITATIONS OF DATA
The element occurrence database contains data from a variety
of sources, which vary in the quality of their locational
information.  Some centroid points may be as much as several
miles off, though most are closer and many are exact to within
one or two seconds of latitude or longitude.
The precision of record is indicated in the Natural Heritage
Program databases. Because of uncertainty about the precision
and accuracy of source data, and because the aerial extent of
occurrences is not indicated on CGIA maps, occurrences anywhere
within several miles of a site of interest should be regarded as
indicating the need for more information.  Probability of effects
by a project depends on the actual location and extent of the
element occurrence, on the nature of the species or community,
and on the nature of the action being considered.  Interpretation
of potential effects should be done only by biologists familiar
with the element, with the best locational information available.
LIMITATIONS OF ABSENCE OF DATA
Although the Natural Heritage Program has conducted numerous
biological inventories and has assembled as much of the
secondary source data as possible, the majority of the
state has never been systematically surveyed for rare species
or natural communities.  In addition, negative surveys are
seldom reported to the Natural Heritage Program and are not
recorded.  The database reflects only locations where an element
was once known to occur.  It does not distinguish between areas
known to have no elements and those that have not been checked.
The absence of element location cannot be taken as an indication
of absence of elements or of ecological concerns.  Natural
Heritage Program biologists are often able to give indications
of the potential for concern in unsurveyed areas.
DATA CURRENCY
The Natural Heritage Program databases are continually updated
as new information is acquired.  The locational database at
CGIA is updated as needed for applications.  Users should
determine the date of the last update and, if necessary,
see that an update is done prior to their application being run.
All printed maps from the GIS should be dated.  Depending on
activity in a given area, a map may quickly become outdated, or
may remain current for several years.  It is not possible to set
a specific expiration date on maps; however, data more than six
months old should not be depended on without checking with the
Natural Heritage Program.
Only a small portion of the rare species and community locations
are monitored on a regular basis.  Information in the Natural
Heritage Program database represents the occurrence at the last
time it was observed.  The date of last observation is given in
the Natural Heritage Program database but is not included in
the NC OneMap datalayer.  Records are kept in the database until
the destruction of an occurrence is confirmed.  Thus, some of
the records are likely to represent locations where an element
has not been seen in many years and may no longer be present.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Additional information about databases, elements of natural
diversity, and user services is available from the Natural
Heritage Program.  The basic data are "public records" and
are available for inspection on request for reasonable purposes.

Access_Constraints: Although more significant ecological features are lost because of ignorance and accident than because of exploitation or intentional destruction, publication of locations of many species increases the risk of deliberate damage to them. To minimize this risk, elements are not identified in the NC OneMap database. Points are labeled only as plant, animal, or natural community occurrences. If a particular occurrence is of interest, the Natural Heritage Program must be contacted to determine the identity of the element and its significance to the project concerned. There may be a charge for Natural Heritage Program services in providing the data.
Use_Constraints:
These data are intended for research or planning projects that will
contribute to better protection for the ecological features
involved. Due to its dynamic nature, this data becomes outdated very
quickly.  The Natural Heritage Program must be contacted before each use
of the data set to ensure data currency.
Acknowledgement of products derived form this dataset should cite the following:
The source of the Natural Heritage Element Occurrences data is NC OneMap.
Earlier versions of this data set may exist. The user must be sure to use
the appropriate dataset for the time period of interest.  While efforts
have been made to ensure that these data are accurate and reliable within
the state of the art, CGIA cannot assume liability for any damages or
misrepresentation caused by any inaccuracies in the data or as a result
of changes to the data caused by system transfers.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Dataset was created by buffering the shapes from the previous
shapefiles (points, lines, and polys) by their uncertainty distance, merging the buffered shapes,
and dissolving on the EO_ID. The buffer of a source feature represents any locational uncertainty
surrounding the original observation. (Uncertainty typically results from not knowing the exact
location of the observation, and can be affected by survey techniques, equipment, and the amount
and type of information we have from the observer.) After the source features of an EO are buffered
for uncertainty, they are grouped into a single polygon. This grouping is meant to represent the entire
extent of a given element occurrence. Ideally, for species, an element occurrence representation would
represent a population, but often it is simply a collection of adjacent observations. Be aware that an
element occurrence representation may contain multiple source features (points, lines, and/or polygons).
Also note that all of the point source features are buffered by a minimum mapping unit of 12.5 m, even when
the precision is higher than this.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The NC DENR-Div. of Parks and Recreation, Natural Heritage Program
maintains these data in tabular form with latitude/longitude
coordinates, as well as in a GIS.
Latitude/longitude coordinates were extrapolated from USGS
1:24,000 topographic maps which had markers placed at the site
of an element occurrence.  A transparent grid template was
overlayed onto the topo maps and the coordinates were interpreted.
The coordinates and related attribute information about the sites
were keyed into a DOS-based program known as the Biological
Conservation Database (BCD).
The latitude/longitude coordinates were converted from the
Biological Conservation Database (BCD) into a UNIX environment.
They were then processed into Arc/Info using the "Generate"
command and then built for topology.  The attributes from the
BCD were then appended to the Arc/Info coverage using the
"Joinitem" command.   This process generated one statewide
point coverage.
