USGS-NPS Vegetation mapping program: Classification of the vegetation of Congaree National Park
Landaal S, Weakley A, Drake J. USGS-NPS Vegetation mapping program: Classification of the vegetation of Congaree National Park
This report presents the results of the vegetation classification portion of the USGS-NPS BRD Vegetation Mapping Program at Congaree National Park. The major goal of this portion of the project was to classify and describe all plant communities found within the study area. In addition, vegetation data were used by the photointerpreter to determine relationships between signatures on aerial photos and vegetation types on the ground. Sampling strategy and field methods are described for vegetation sampling. The vegetation classification, field key to the vegetation types, and descriptions of each type are also included
