Documentation of the vegetation resources of Everglades National Park is one tool used by the National Park Service to meet management objectives. Information from time-series analysis can be used to evaluate vegetation changes, and therefore determine success or failure of resource preservation. In addition, vegetation analyses may be used to test efficacy of wide-scale management actions, such as experimental water deliveries authorized by Congress (PL 98-181). The type of vegetation analysis examined during this study is the depiction of spatial patterns of vegetation cover types or plant associations using LANDSAT IV Thematic Mapper data.
