Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Homestead National Monument
2005-2008. Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Homestead National Monument
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 data were collected in characteristic plots by KBS in July 2008 and additional plot information was acquired from the HTLN. Characteristic plots were located in areas that were visually representative of the preliminary vegetation categories. Plots were 100 m2 in area, and GPS coordinates were recorded with a Garmin receiver. To maintain consistency with other projects, plots were square. The accuracy for all of the recorded points ranged from 1-7 meters in horizontal accuracy, as recorded by the GPS receiver. Thirteen plots were sampled in the preliminary vegetation type “Restored Prairie,” and three plots were sampled in the preliminary vegetation type “Central Tallgrass Prairie.” Additional plot data were obtained from the HTLN, which had sampling data from 2005 and 2006 on ten permanent plots. Each plot was comprised of two transects 50 m in length, with ten sets of nested subplots systematically arranged.
