Abstract
The government of Fairfax County, Virginia has developed an ecological-resources inventory/information system for practical use by local decision-makers. Forested-wetland communities are among the habitat types found in Fairfax County. This inventory and information system has been a process of separate but related tasks, including the formation of a technical steering committee, definition and description of habitat types found in Fairfax County, the development of a baseline field-survey method, the development of an automated database system, and use of a change-detection method for system updating and maintenance. This information system will provide a workable ‘picture’ of natural communities in Fairfax County, and will benefit various needs of County and regional resource-management agencies. By obtaining and managing specific resource information, this process will provide the foundation necessary for Fairfax's legislators to reach informed decisions for land-use planning and resource management.
