Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument and Lake Meredith National Recreation Area
2004-2005. Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument and Lake Meredith National Recreation Area
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 multi-year approach was utilized to effectively classify and map the wide range of vegetation at LAMR consisting of several linked phases: (1) vegetation classification using the National Vegetation Classification (NVC), (2) digital vegetation map production, and (3) map accuracy assessment. To classify the vegetation, we sampled 182 representative plots located throughout the 46,000-acre (18,200 ha) park and surrounding environs during the summer of 2004. Analysis of the plot data using ordination and clustering techniques produced 29 vegetation communities, composed of one alliance (Cottonwood Temporarily Flooded Woodland Alliance), 18 existing associations and 10 additional associations that were newly described for this area.
