Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site
2004-2007. Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Saugus Iron Works 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. Plot sampling was conducted in July 2004. In total, four plots were sampled at Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site. All vegetation plot sampling followed the USGS/NPS Vegetation Mapping Program protocols. After review of the USNVC Alliance map developed by Agius for Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site (2003b) and reconnaissance of the vegetation at the site, we concluded that four plots would be sufficient to capture the range of vegetation types and their distribution at this small (5.1 ha [12.6 ac]) park. Areas classified as Anderson Level II (modified) categories were not sampled.
