This template is used to compute urban growth between two land cover datasets, that are classified into 20 classes based on the Anderson Level II classification system. This raster function template is used to generate a visual representation indicating urbanization across two different time periods. Typical datasets used for this template is the National Land Cover Database. A more detailed blog on the datasets can be found on ArcGIS Blogs. This template works in ArcGIS Pro Version 2.6 and higher. It's designed to work on Enterprise 10.8.1 and higher.References:Raster functionsWhen to use this raster function templateThe template is useful to generate an intuitive visualization of urbanization across two images.Sample Images to test this againstNLCD2006 and NLCD2011How to use this raster function templateIn ArcGIS Pro, search ArcGIS Living Atlas for raster function templates to apply them to your imagery layer. You can also download the raster function template, attach it to a mosaic dataset, and publish it as an image service. The output is a visual representation of urban sprawl across two images. Applicable geographiesThe template is designed to work globally.

This basemap was designed with the Vizzuality team for use in the Half-Earth Project globe. The saturated palette and rich landcover tones are meant to engage an audience and to provide the sense that the earth is a charming and beautiful place worthy of thoughtful stewardship. As you zoom in, the saturated basemap is slowly replaced by imagery.This basemap is the major component of the Vibrant Map. The Vibrant Map is configured to use these basemap tiles from global to regional extents, then transition to Esri's World Imagery basemap tiles for a seamless transition from small to large scale.Find more information about this basemap, and its contributing data, here: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-pro/mapping/creating-the-half-earth-vibrant-basemap/Learn more about the Half-Earth Project here and explore highlighted areas of biodiversity here.Happy Mapping!

The Census of Agriculture, produced by the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (USDA), provides a complete count of America's farms, ranches and the people who grow our food. The census is conducted every five years, most recently in 2017, and provides an in-depth look at the agricultural industry.This layer summarizes wheat production from the 2017 Census of Agriculture at the county level.This layer was produced from data downloaded using the USDA's QuickStats Application. The data was transformed using the Pivot Table tool in ArcGIS Pro and joined to the county boundary file provided by the USDA. The layer was published as feature layer in ArcGIS Online. Dataset SummaryPhenomenon Mapped: 2017 Wheat ProductionCoordinate System: Web Mercator Auxiliary SphereExtent: 48 Contiguous United StatesVisible Scale: All ScalesSource: USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service QuickStats ApplicationPublication Date: 2017AttributesThis layer provides values for the following attributes. Note that some values are not disclosed (coded as -1 in the layer) to protect the privacy of producers in areas with limited production.Area Harvested in AcresOperations with Area HarvestedOperations with SalesProduction in BushelsSales in US DollarsIrrigated Area Harvested in AcresOperations with Irrigated Area HarvestedAdditionally attributes of State Name, State Code, County Name and County Code are included to facilitate cartography and use with other layers.Many other ready-to-use layers derived from the Census of Agriculture can be found in the Living Atlas Agriculture of the USA group.What can you do with this layer?This layer can be used throughout the ArcGIS system. Feature layers can be used just like any other vector layer. You can use feature layers as an input to geoprocessing tools in ArcGIS Pro or in Analysis in ArcGIS Online. Combine the layer with others in a map and set custom symbology or create a pop-up tailored for your users. For the details of working with feature layers the help documentation for ArcGIS Pro or the help documentation for ArcGIS Online are great places to start. The ArcGIS Blog is a great source of ideas for things you can do with feature layers. This layer is part of ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World that provides an easy way to find and explore many other beautiful and authoritative layers, maps, and applications on hundreds of topics.
