This book was released on 2013-08-03 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1994, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and National Park Service (NPS) formed a partnership to map U.S. national parks using the National Vegetation Classification (NVC) (TNC and ESRI 1994b). The goals of the USGS-NPS Vegetation Mapping Program (VMP) are to provide baseline ecological data for park resource managers, create data in a regional and national context, and provide opportunities for future inventory, monitoring, and research activities (FGDC 1997, Grossman et al. 1998, http: //biology.usgs.gov/ npsveg/index.html)

Book Synopsis Vegetation Classification and Mapping at Sagamore Hill National Historic Site, New York by : Gregory J. Edinger
Download or read book Vegetation Classification and Mapping at Sagamore Hill National Historic Site, New York written by Gregory J. Edinger and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2008-05 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vegetation classification and mapping of U.S. National Vegetation Classification associations were conducted at the Sagamore Hill National Historic Site, creating current digital geospatial databases for the park. This study of the Sagamore Hill National Historic Site identified and characterized 10 U.S. National Vegetation Classification associations in detail. The diversity and distribution of vegetation associations is primarily a result of the following four factors: 1) the geologic history of the region, especially the effect of glaciation; 2) the park's position on the northeastern U.S. coastal plain within a temperate climate; 3) proximity to Long Island Sound and maritime ecological processes, such as diurnal tides, storm overwash, salt spray, and high winds; and 4) the park's setting within a suburban landscape with a moderately intensive human land use history, along with its associated problems, such as invasive species, fragmentation, habitat loss, and pollution.

Download or read book A Vegetation Classification and Map written by Esteban Muldvin and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-09-14 with total page 228 pages. 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.
Book Synopsis Vegetation Classification and Mapping of Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve by : Kelly Kindscher
Download or read book Vegetation Classification and Mapping of Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve written by Kelly Kindscher and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2011-04 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A three-year program was initiated to complete the task of mapping and classifying the vegetation at TAPR. The Kansas Biological Survey (KBS) in conjunction with NatureServe developed a vegetation classification using the National Vegetation Classification System and produced a digital vegetation map. To classify the vegetation, plots located throughout TAPR were sampled during the summer of 2008. Additional data were obtained from vegetation plots sampled by the Inventory & Monitoring program in 2006. Analysis of the plot data by KBS produced 12 map units (eight vegetated and four land-use) which are directly matched to corresponding plant associations and land-use classes. Descriptions and a field key for all plant communities of TAPR are included in this report. Draft maps were printed, field tested, reviewed and revised.
