Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site
2004. Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Saint-Gaudens 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. Covering the full spatial extent of the park, 25 plots were sampled during August and September of 2004. NatureServe National Park Vegetation Classification Program plot survey forms were completed for all 25 plots. Completed forms are on file with the NPS and NatureServe. Abbreviated instructions for completing this form and definitions of the fields can be found in the USGS/NPS Vegetation Characterization Program: Field Methods for Vegetation Mapping manual. During plot surveys, total cover, height, and characteristic species were documented for each forest structure stratum. Then, segregated by stratum, each species’ cover was recorded in the applicable cover class as the class midpoint. A seven-class cover scale was used.
