Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project for Missouri National Recreation River
Cook TL. Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project for Missouri National Recreation River. 2015-2019
The Missouri National Recreation River Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project is part of the NPS Vegetation Mappign Inventory Program (VMI). The NPS Vegetation Mapping Inventory Program uses the National Vegetation Classification Standard (NVCS), a classification system well integrated with the major scientific efforts in the taxonomic classification of vegetation. The classification system is a Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) standard for the physiognomic levels (coarser detail). Work continues on the floristic levels (fine detail) through both the FGDC Vegetation Subcommittee and the Ecological Society of America Vegetation Panel. The map class themes represent NVCS natural/semi-natural vegetation communities. Maps are produced in Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), NAD83 datum with a 1:24,000 scale and a minimum mapping unit of 0.5 hectares. The vegetation maps must meet the National Map Accuracy Standards for positional accuracy and the minimum class accuracy goal across all vegetation and land cover classes of 80 percent.
