Vegetation Distribution in the Badlands National Park
Butler JL and Batt JE. 1991. Vegetation Distribution in the Badlands National Park. University of South Dakota. Vermillion, SD
"A total fo 143 sites were sampled during the 1990 field saeason primarily within the Sage Creek Wilderness Area. Specific study sites were selected with the use of soil survey photo-orthoquad maps. Once located, the vegetation which best represented the plant community resideing on that soil type was selected for detailed study using the Daubenmire cover class system. The data collected during the 1990 field season had entered into the USD mainframe computer in preparation for summarization and analysis. Exploratory analysis indicates that much of the within-site variation can be reduced using an agglormoerative clustering technique. The method appears to be quite useful in classifying a particular site into a community type and in determining the successful status of the site." (from document Abstract)
