Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Mississippi National River and Recreation Area
2012-2017. Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Mississippi National River and Recreation Area
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 teams collected vegetation plot data from July to September of 2012. There were 132 vegetation plots collected for the MISS vegetation mapping project. The team collected data from 132 vegetation plots within MISS to develop detailed descriptions of USNVC associations. Data from 52 verification sites were also collected to test both the dichotomous key to vegetation associations and the application of vegetation types to a sample set of map polygons. Furthermore, data from 776 accuracy assessment (AA) sites were collected (of which 757 were used to test accuracy of the vegetation-map layer). These data sets led to the identification of 45 vegetation association in the USNVC at MISS.
