Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project for Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve
AK I&M Inventory Program. Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project for Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve. 2001-2008
Alaska Inventory and Monitoring Inventory Program products. Landcover classes were delineated on 1:65,000 color infrared air photos using a stereoscope, and used field information, photographs of polygons and LandSat imagery to assist in air photo interpretation. The minimum mapping unit for wetlands was 1-2 hectares and 8 hectacres for the non-wetland landcover classes.Photo interpretation procedures conformed to National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) standard conventions and protocols developed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for cartography and digitizing (USFWS National Wetlands Inventory 1995, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1994, 1995).
