Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Valley Forge National Historical Park
2000. Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Valley Forge 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. PSO-TNC staff completed sampling of 80 plant community plots at the Valley Forge National Historical Park between May and October 2000. Pennsylvania Science Office of The Nature Conservancy (PSO-TNC) sampled 80 vegetation classification plots during the summer of 2000. Data analysis identified eight natural vegetation types and 13 anthropogenic types (ranging from managed grasslands to hard infrastructure such as transportation corridors). Vegetation analysis information was used by CEO to reclassify formation-level polygons to develop an association-level vegetation map. Accuracy assessment of the association-level map was performed by PSO-TNC using 308 sampling points distributed across all polygon types according to vegetation mapping program guidelines
