Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Agate Fossil Beds National Monument
1996-1998. Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Agate Fossil Beds 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. Total number of plots per vegetation type was related to areal coverage of each vegetation type, widespread types had more plots than those with limited distribution. The number of plots (39) varied from 0-5 per type, with an average of 3 per type. Plot size also varied with vegetation type. Plots and observations by the field team were used to produce the final classification of Agate Fossil Beds NM. Field personnel organized the plots into groups based on vegetation structure and composition. Average cover of each species and vegetation stratum were computed.
