Research Plot Protected

Derived layer, based on research plot source features and attributes, which are deemed to have an active temporal requirement for Protection within a designated area or polygon. The spatial features and attributes in this layer are sourced from 1) Research Point (RESPOINT), 2) Research Line (RESLINE), Research Poly (RESPOLY) data classes. The Temporal Constraint assesses the active status of source features and facilitates automated lifecycle management of the features included in this derived layer.

Temporal Constraint: PROTECTION_END_DATE is greater than the date this layer was generated. The spatial extents of features in this derived layer are based on source feature extents, to which specified buffer distances has been added.

Applied Buffer: PROTECTION_BUFFER_DIST field value (meters).

This layer is regenerated at scheduled intervals, with the previous version of this layer archived and replaced by the newly generated version.
