Vegetation map of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

Mueller-Dombois D and Fosberg FR. 1974. Vegetation map of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. PCSU Technical report 4. Cooperative National Park Resources Studies Unit, University of Hawaii at Manoa. Honolulu, HI

The vegetation map of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (Island Hawaii) is reduced in this report from 53 (70 cm x 70 cm) air photo overlays (at 1:12000) to 25 transparent sheets overlaying contiguous topographic half sheets. These were reduced once more from 1:24,000 to 1:52,000. The map units are identified by letter symbols denoting dominant species, structural criteria (such as plant spacing and height) and other relevant surface features. The map is further interpreted by a summary of 31 major vegetation types grouped into six environmental sections. This map-report is intended as a note-pad for park research and management purposes.
