Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)-National Park Service (NPS) Vegetation Mapping Program and the NPS Southern Plains Network (SOPN) of parks in cooperation with Natural Heritage New Mexico (NHNM, a division of the Museum of Southwestern Biology at the University of New Mexico), and the staff at Pecos National Historical Park (PECO), set out to develop vegetation maps that meet or exceed USGS-NPS standards of 1:24,000-scale and 0.5-ha minimum map unit size (USGS 2010). The maps were based on high-resolution aerial photography along with extensive ground sampling. The project was initiated in 2006 with ensuing field surveys of the vegetation communities through 2011. The vegetation survey data were entered into a database and used to develop a park-wide vegetation classification following the National Vegetation Classification System (FGDC 1997, 2008; Grossman et al. 1998) guidelines.* Then, using the vegetation classification and associated ground control points, vegetation maps were generated at a 1:12,000 scale using a combination of automated image analysis (image segmentation and supervised classifications) and direct image interpretation. Map units were designed to support ecologically based natural resources management with an emphasis on use in fire and wildlife management. The authors provide here the details on how the maps were constructed, an overview of the classification and ecology of the vegetation communities of the monument, the vegetation maps with associated map unit descriptions, plant community descriptions and a diagnostic key, and a vouchered species list. The maps are presented in both paper and digital form as part of a geographic information system (GIS) compatible with that used in the park and national USGSNPS national mapping program. In addition, all field data were compiled into a relational database compatible with USGS-NPS database guidelines, and all data and report elements made ready for web-based applications. Finally, the authors provide an accuracy assessment that reflects both user and producer confidence in the map.

Download or read book Existing Vegetation Map Maintenance Guide written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Existing vegetation maps provide much of the information needed for forest planning and analysis, and project implementation and monitoring. Maps are the most convenient and universally understood means to represent the spatial arrangement and relationships among features on the Earths surface (Mosby 1980). Because developing these maps requires a large expenditure of time and money, a maintenance process is needed to keep the maps current and useful. Updates are needed after landscape changes such as wildfires or timber harvests and to correct thematic errors that are inherent in any mapping project. Without revisions, maps can quickly become out of date and inaccurate. The map maintenance process outlined in this report is an interdisciplinary approach that requires both ecological and geospatial knowledge. In summary, the process includes the following steps: 1) locating the landscape changes or thematic errors; 2) defining the type of change or error; 3) determining the correct map label; 4) selecting the appropriate GIS or remote sensing updating technique; and 5) distributing the revised map and associated databases. Any updates must maintain the map integrity and features such as the minimum mapping unit, resolution, classification scheme, and map units. If any of these elements are changed, the process turns into a remapping effort instead of an update. These guidelines were prepared under the sponsorship of the Forest Service Remote Sensing Steering Committee. They are based on the results of demonstration pilot projects conducted within the Bridger-Teton and Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forests. This report does not provide specific technical information but instead outlines the general concepts that shape a map maintenance program. The reader should consult the regional remote sensing coordinator before initiating a program.

Book excerpt: An existing vegetation map was prepared in a collaborative effort between the Chugach National Forest, Alaska Regional Office (Region 10), Ducks Unlimited, and the Remote Sensing Applications Center (RSAC). This map was designed to be consistent with the standards established in the Existing Vegetation Classification and Technical Guide (Nelson and others, in press) and to provide baseline information to support project planning and management of the Copper River Delta. The final map comprises 15 land cover types, including 11 vegetation classes and 4 non-vegetated classes. Geospatial data, including remotely sensed imagery, a digital surface model, and ancillary data were assembled. A semi-automated image segmentation process was used to develop the modeling units (mapping polygons), which represented relatively homogeneous areas of land cover to be classified. Land cover class determinations were made for field visited reference sites and subsequently used to develop predictive random forest classification models. Photo interpretation was then used to evaluate individual map models and manually edit interim maps. This process utilized various Forest Service Enterprise software packages and the most contemporary mapping methods. Once the final map was produced, an accuracy assessment was conducted to reveal individual class confusion and provide additional insight into the reliability of the final map for resource applications. Overall accuracy of the final vegetation map was 82 percent.
