Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Kaloko Honokohau National Historical Park
2008-2012. Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Kaloko Honokohau 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. A three-year, four phase program was initiated to complete the task of mapping and classifying the vegetation at KAHO. Phase one conducted by PACN staff in 2008, collected 33 field plots and 22 observation points. In phase two, NatureServe’s Western Regional Office used this field data in conjunction with data collected at two other parks to classify 16 new plant associations for KAHO based on the revised US National Vegetation Classification (rUSNVC). Phase three, directed by Cogan Technology, Inc produced a digital vegetation map and supporting accuracy assessment (AA) materials. In the final phase, PACN staff collected 90 accuracy assessment points in 2010 used to check and finalize the map.
