Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project for Big Cypress National Preserve
Ruiz P. Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project for Big Cypress National Preserve. 2005-2020. National Park Service
The Big Cypress National Preserve (BICY) Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project is part of the NPS Vegetation Mapping Inventory Program (VMI). The vegetation map for BICY is being completed in conjunction with the vegetation map for Everglades National Park (EVER). Both BICY and EVER vegetation maps are being completed in partnership with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. As such, some of the methodology for this joint EVER-BICY vegetation map are different than standard program products. The current mapping system uses gridded cells 50m x 50m across the landscape where dominant vegetation is mapped. Extensive field data are used as in both training, and to assess map accuracy. See the Everglades VMI Project reference for all data and products related the EVER-BICY vegetation mapping.
