Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve
2007-2009. Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve
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 four-year, 4-phase program was initiated to complete the task of mapping and classifying the vegetation at CRMO. Phase one, directed by CRMO and UCBN staff in conjunction with Northwest Management Incorporated (NMI) and the Idaho Conservation Data Center (ICDC) developed a vegetation classification using the National Vegetation Classification System (NVCS). To classify the vegetation, 506 representative plots located throughout the approximately 928,373 acre project area (753,222 acres + 2km environs buffer) were sampled during the summer of 2006. Analysis of the plot data by Idaho Conservation Data Center in the winter of 2006-2007 produced 93 distinct plant associations and 47 plant alliances.
