Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site
2005-2006. Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Sand Creek Massacre 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. The field survey of vegetation associations at SAND was conducted by CNHP ecologists during August through September of 2005. At each selected sampling location, plot data were collected using NPS National Vegetation Mapping Program protocols. A total of 79 sample plots were collected; there were 31 relevé plots and an additional 48 observation points. The 31 relevé plots were used in the vegetation classification due to their full species lists. The remaining 48 observation points were used to inform final vegetation classes and mapping and to define and describe local types. Accuracy assessment data were collected over the summer of 2006 and assessment of the vegetation map accuracy was completed in the winter of 2006.
