Modified Holland Vegetation Types, Santa Monica Mountains and Vicinity
Clarke B. 1997. Modified Holland Vegetation Types, Santa Monica Mountains and Vicinity. Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area
The vegetation of the Santa Monica Mountains and vicinity was mapped by San Diego State University in cooperation with the National Park Service as part of the U.S. Forest Service Southern California Mapping Project (Project Director, Dr. Janet Franklin). Vegetation types were mapped using 1) unsupervised classification of June 1993 Landsat Thematic Mapper imagery, 2) image segmentation to define mapping polygons corresponding to vegetation stands or mapping units, and 3) manual editing of the mapping units using aerial photo interpretation. Following completion of the map, an accuracy assessment was conducted. Additional details are contained in the project final report. Minimum mapping unit was five acres and a modified Holland vegetation classification system was used. The final map is an Arc/Info Grid with 30 meter grid cells.
