Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Theodore Roosevelt National Park
1997-2000. Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Theodore Roosevelt 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. Field surveys began in the second week of July 1997. Data collection included both plot and observation points allowing investigators to record typical vegetation types and also to record variation within plant communities across larger areas. Investigators chose representative stands of plant communities to collect data for 172 of the more. Detailed sampling plots were subjectively placed in vegetation that was representative of an area, relatively homogeneous, and covered more than 1/2 hectare (the minimum mapping unit). At least three plots were sampled for each plant community found in the study area, as long as three stands were available. For a few rare plant communities (e.g., ‘Greasewood Shrubland’), only one or two plots were sampled. All sampled data were entered into TNC’s ‘PLOTS’ database.
