Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Colonial National Historical Park
2001-2008. Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Colonial National Historical Park
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. The vegetation map for Colonial National Historical Park covers 3498 ha (8644 ac) in and around the park. Transitional vegetation covers 37.4% of the land in the park (1,308.4 ha [3,233.0 ac]). Cultural map classes cover 19.3% (676.6 ha [1671.9 ac]) of the park and include the Anderson land-use categories and other man-made or maintained areas in the park. Tidal wetlands account for approximately 16.3% (568.5 ha [1404.7 ac]) of the park, and nontidal wetlands cover 4.9% (171.9 ha [424.7 ac]). Open water accounts for 2% of the area on the vegetation map. The remaining 20.1% (702.5 ha [1,736.0 ac]) of the park land is mapped as later successional, upland forests.
