Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of American Memorial Park
2008-2014. Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of American Memorial Park
This reference is an assemblage of field data collected as part the baseline vegetation inventory for the American Memorial Park. 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. A three-year, four phase program was initiated to complete the task of mapping and classifying the vegetation at AMME. PACN staff collected 11 field plots and 9 observation points in 2009 during Phase 1. In phase two, NatureServe’s Western Regional Office used this field data to classify 10 new plant associations for AMME based on the National Vegetation Classification (NVC). Phase three, directed by Cogan Technology Inc. (CTI), produced a digital vegetation map and supporting accuracy assessment (AA) materials. In the final phase, PACN staff collected 48 accuracy assessment points between 2010 and 2011 to check and finalize the map
