Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Manzanar National Historic Site
2008-2009. Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Manzanar National Historic Site
This reference is an assemblage of field data collected as part the baseline vegetation inventory for the park unit. Typical files here are vegetation plot data, accuracy assessment data, field photos, PDF showing locations of vegetation plots and accuracy assessment data, and other data for this type. USGS produced a very detailed draft vegetation map containing 759 polygons, with 473 of these polygons attributed to a preliminary vegetative map class. Working off the draft map, MOJN I&M staff visited 253 draft polygons and used corresponding verification (waypoint) and observation points to document the dominant vegetation. MOJN I&M staff also established 28 classification plots in representative stands for the following vegetation types: Basin big sagebrush (five plots), cattle saltbush (two plots), shadscale saltbush (five plots), rubber rabbitbrush (six plots), mixed forb herbaceous vegetation (four plots), mixed grass herbaceous vegetation (three plots), and one plot each for the red willow.
