Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Tumacacori National Historical Park
2007-2008. Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Tumacacori National Historical Park
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. Vegetation classification and mapping to the alliance level were done simultaneously, through intensive field work from November 2007 to April 2008. The field team, including the image interpreters, took the formation map as a starting point and verified or modified formation boundaries; split formation polygons into alliance- or fi ner-level, floristically based polygons; and characterized each alliance type with quantitative (plot- and polygon-based) data on species composition, relative cover, and other factors. Because Tumacácori is a small park, a census of the entire park was done in this way. Nineteen vegetation types were identified and mapped.
