Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Washita Battlefield National Historic Site
2005-2006. Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Washita Battlefield 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. A three-year program was initiated to complete the task of mapping and classifying the vegetation at WABA. Phase one, directed by the Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT) in conjunction with NatureServe developed a vegetation classification using the National Vegetation Classification System (NVCS). Phase two, directed by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s (BOR) Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Group in conjunction with Cogan Technology, Inc (CTI) produced a digital vegetation map. To classify the vegetation, 31 representative plots located throughout the approximately 924 acre project area (park + environs) were sampled during the summer of 2005. Analysis of the plot data by NatureServe in the winter of 2005-2006 produced 11 distinct plant associations and alliances.
