Book Synopsis Global Conservation Status Ranks of State-Rare Vegetation Associations in the Eastern Rivers and Mountains Network by : Lesley Sneddon
Download or read book Global Conservation Status Ranks of State-Rare Vegetation Associations in the Eastern Rivers and Mountains Network written by Lesley Sneddon and published by . This book was released on 2013-08-06 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides Global Conservation Status Ranks of 33 U.S. National Vegetation Classification (USNVC) state-rare associations known to occur in the Eastern Rivers and Mountains Network of the National Park Service's Inventory and Monitoring Program. These parks include Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River, New River Gorge National River, Bluestone National Scenic River, Allegheny Portage Railroad National Historic Site, Fort Necessity National Battlefield, Friendship Hill National Historic Site, Johnstown Flood National Memorial, and Gauley River National Recreation Area. Forty-five state-rare vegetation associations were identified during vegetation classification and mapping of these parks; however, most of these associations lacked global conservation ranks. Methods were drawn from those developed by NatureServe and member programs. In order to prioritize management efforts directed towards rare or threatened associations, National Park Service staff of the Eastern Rivers and Mountains Network wanted information to determine whether these types deemed rare at the state level are also rare throughout their range, or whether they are rare within the state as a consequence of political rather than ecological boundaries, and are otherwise more common. It is important that examples of those communities found to be globally rare are identified as such so that management and other activities can be properly directed.
Book Synopsis Distribution and Abundance of Nonnative Plant Species at Johnstown Flood National Memorial and Allegheny Portage Railroad National Historic Site by : Ephraim Zimmerman
Download or read book Distribution and Abundance of Nonnative Plant Species at Johnstown Flood National Memorial and Allegheny Portage Railroad National Historic Site written by Ephraim Zimmerman and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-08-28 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this study was to inventory the nonnative plant populations in each of the four NPS units between 2004 and 2006 at each of the NPS vegetation mapping plots and accuracy assessment points. This report details the results of the inventory for JOFL, which took place in 2004, and ALPO, which took place in 2005–2006. This inventory will contribute to a general understanding of the nonnative plant distributions, identify what species are most prevalent, and determine which vegetation associations are most impacted by nonnative plant species. This report draws attention to survey points and vegetative communities with particularly dense populations of nonnative plants and identifies them as targets for further study and management.

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 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.

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.
