Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Congaree National Park
1996. Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Congaree National 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 classification of the vegetation at Congaree National Park resulted in twenty-two types being defined including twenty forests, one woodland, and one shrubland. Of the total types, twelve are newly described plant associations based on data from the field work, and one is a broadly defined upland successional forest. The percentage of new associations is not surprising given the lack of quantitative field data previously collected in the Congaree National Park specifically and in southeastern floodplain forests in general.
