Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Arches National Park
2001-2009. Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Arches National Park
This reference is an assemblage of field data collected as part the baseline vegetation inventory for the Arches National Park. 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. Ecologists and photointerpreters identified plant associations for ARCH and determine how best to map them using 1:12,000-scale, true color aerial photography and digital orthophotography. The team collected vegetation and environmental data from 333 vegetation classification plots and 256 observation points. Map accuracy assessment entailed sampling another 792 plots. No supplemental fuels data were collected during the project. Fieldwork and mapping were completed between 2003 and 2005.
