Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument
1999-2000. Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument
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. RSGIG staff conducted field surveys in support of the aerial photointerpretation in June 1999, with some follow-up work to clarify photosignatures in early May 2000. Two RSGIG plant ecologists collected the data and simultaneously took representative photographs of plant associations and their position in the landscape. These observation points were used to describe the plant association characteristics and their occurrence relative to aerial photosignatures. A two person team of CPRS plant ecologists conducted field surveys from mid-June thru mid-August 1999 and sampled 114 field relevés in the project area. The standard relevé method was used to quantify the vegetation community.
