Methods used in producing this dataset:
Land use (see attachment)
Percent of the plot area that is in the land use using the LTER landuse categories 1 - 6. This will mostly be 100%, but some plots will fall on a border e.g. 60% residential lot, 40% street.

IF the land use and plot features have completely changed (i.e. desert or vacant lot has been developed): i) Make a detailed sketch map of all the permanent surface features and surface cover types on the plot (including buildings, pool, shape of yard, pavement), ii) Using the tape, measure the length of features and their distance from other key objects, iii) GPS the location of all permanent surface objects.
