Vegetation Information for the Acadia National Park Vegetation Inventory Project
2003. Vegetation Information for the Acadia National Park Vegetation Inventory Project
In Acadia National Park extensive field sampling was conducted to understand the local expression of vegetation types of the park. Samples from 179 vegetation sampling plots were collected during 1997–99 field seasons throughout the project area and subsequently analyzed with previously collected plot data. Fifty-three natural/semi-natural vegetation communities (associations of the NVCS) are recognized and described in detail in this report. This final project report includes methods, descriptions of vegetation types, vegetation key, map accuracy assessment results and contingency table, and map class description and visual guide.
