Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project for Aniakchak National Monument and Preserve
AK I&M Inventory Program. Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project for Aniakchak National Monument and Preserve. 2009-2013. National Park Service
The Aniakchak National Monument and Preserve Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project is part of the NPS Vegetation Mapping Inventory Program (VMI). The Map was produced in Alaska Albers, NAD83 datum and was created by the AK Natural Heritage Program by clipping the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Bureau of Land Management - Alaska (BLM) and Ducks Unlimited, Inc. (DU) 2008 AK Peninsula Map [US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Bureau of Land Management - Alaska (BLM) and Ducks Unlimited, Inc. (DU) 2008 AK Peninsula Map] to the Aniakchak National Monument boundary and amending the classes. The vegetation classification system for Aniakchak National Monument and Preserve is a two tiered system composed of a landcover map (earth cover classes) and plant associations. Twenty-four vegetated earth cover classes were mapped using 30M TM imagery within Aniakchak National Monument and Preserve. Earth cover classes represent coarse-scale vegetation map units based on the Alaska Vegetation Classification levels II through IV. Plant associations represent the finest level of community classification of both the Alaska Vegetation Classification and the National Vegetation Classification Standard.
