The National Park Service Vegetation Inventory Program funded an effort, beginning in 2009, to classify and map the vegetation at Oregon Caves National Monument and its proposed expansion area (inclusive of the headwaters of Cave and Lake Creeks). Southern Oregon University staff performed the inventory work. The Klamath Network, Inventory and Monitoring Program coordinated the effort. To complete this vegetation inventory project we produced the standard deliverables as described and presented herein and stored on the digital video disk (DVD) or flash drive distributed with this report. The primary deliverables include: · 1) This final report that includes plant association descriptions, the key to plant associations, description of the physiognomic map classes and their photo-signatures, accuracy assessment information, and project methods and results. · 2) A GIS database containing the attributed vegetation polygons, classification plots, and accuracy AA points. · 3) Digital photographs characterizing the classification plots and landscape features/objects of interest within the monument and proposed expansion area. · 4) Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC)-compliant metadata for all of the spatial data.
