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.
Book Synopsis Geographical Changes in Vegetation and Plant Functional Types by : Andrew M. Greller
Download or read book Geographical Changes in Vegetation and Plant Functional Types written by Andrew M. Greller and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-04-18 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents studies on current vegetation topics, from polar to tropical regions. It is a festschrift to mark the 70th birthday of Prof. Elgene O. Box, who has studied vegetation all over the world, both through fieldwork and modeling. It reflects a number of his interests, including basic ecological plant forms (cf ‘plant functional types’), temperate-zone forests, and evergreen versus seasonal patterns. Section 1 discusses the concept of vegetation series, while Section 2 has two global-scale chapters on plant functional traits and whether they are related more to climate or phylogeny. Section 3 has nine chapters focusing on vegetation history, regional vegetation, and how these have influenced current species organizations and distributions. Regions treated include Russia, China, the USA, Mexico and Mediterranean areas. Lastly, Section 4 addresses aspects of vegetation change and plant ecology. Every chapter in this unique book offers original ideas on the topic of vegetation, as the authors are assembled from a world-wide population of leading vegetational ecologists, whose interests range from local communities to global theoretical questions.
Book Synopsis Vegetation Classification and Mapping at Thomas Stone National Historic Site, Maryland by : National Park National Park Service
Download or read book Vegetation Classification and Mapping at Thomas Stone National Historic Site, Maryland written by National Park National Park Service and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vegetation classification and mapping of Thomas Stone National Historic Site follows the guidelines developed for the U.S. National Vegetation Classification (USNVC). An initial site visit was conducted to observe and record the range of compositional and environmental variation within the park. These data were then used to identify representative stands where twenty-three vegetation plots were sampled. Vegetation plots included quantitative and qualitative data on vegetation composition and structure as well as environmental characteristics. Plot data collected at Thomas Stone National Historic Site were added to a larger data set collected at nearby National Park System units of the National Capital Region and analyzed using an array of multivariate techniques to produce the vegetation classification.

This book was released on 2013-09-27 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vegetation classification and mapping was conducted at Weir Farm National Historic Site during the fall of 2003 and the summers of 2004 and 2005, creating a current digital geospatial vegetation database for the park. There are nine natural vegetation types that occur in the park; four upland forest types, one upland non-vascular type, two forested wetland types, and two wetland shrub thicket types that reflected the soil moisture conditions of the site. In addition, four anthropogenic vegetation types occurred; one successional forest and three non-forested types (two in mowed upland fields, and one herbaceous wetland seep). Each of these is described in detail in this report.

Book Synopsis A Vegetation Classification and Map by : Esteban Muldvin
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.

Download or read book Vegetation Classification and Mapping Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument written by National Park Service and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument (HAFO) encompasses approximately 4,351 acres in the Snake River canyon in central Idaho. HAFO is located approximately 35 miles west of Twin Falls, Idaho and 100 miles east of Boise. This unique terrain supports approximately 380 species of vascular plants and includes examples of native plant communities indigenous to this area. The park consists of two areas located on opposite sides of the Snake River. Approximately 60 acres is located on a relatively flat area east of the river (future monument's museum and interpretive center) with the balance of the monument located west of the river. To better understand the distribution of the plant assemblages located on these sites, the National Park Service (NPS) Upper Columbia Basin's Inventory and Monitoring Network (UCBN) started a vegetation mapping and classification effort at HAFO in 2006.
