Research Polygon

A Research Polygon is a feature representing a geographic area (polygon), where some form of research observation, test, trial, measure, or monitoring activity has, or will take place. The mapped features in this layer can be derived existing feature geometry (e.g. plantation), or as generated feature geometry (e.g., 11.28 meter diameter circular plot around a centre post). This layer will also store research areas which represent formalized groupings where research occurs. There will be significant overlaps between features in this layer. This data class is one of three primitive data classes: Research Point (RESPOINT), Research Line (RESLINE), and Research Polygon (RESPOLY).
