Bradley KA, Woodmansee SW, South Florida/Caribbean Network. 2008. South Florida National Parks Vegetation Map Accuracy Assessment Final Report. Cooperative Agreement #H5120040010. National Park Service

Between 1995 and 1999 the Center for Remote Mapping Science at the University of Georgia (UGA) and the South Florida Natural Resources Center at Everglades National Park developed the “Vegetation Map and Digital Database of South Florida's National Park Service Lands,” a vegetation map of three National Park units in South Florida: Everglades National Park (EVER), Biscayne National Park (BISC), and Big Cypress National Preserve (BICY), a combined area of 10,000 km2. Mapping was conducted via interpretation of 1:40,000 color infrared aerials flown in 1994 and 1995 augmented by limited field surveys. A minimum mapping unit of 0.5 ha was established, although smaller mapping units were sometimes used.
