Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Lava Beds National Monument
2010-2013. Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Lava 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. To classify the vegetation, we sampled 169 representative vegetation classification plots throughout the 18,936 hectare (46,792 acre) project area using traditional phytosociological methods (i.e., relevé sampling). The relevé plots were located and sampled primarily in 2010 and 2011. We identified a total of 222 vascular plant species in the relevé plots, including several species that were not previously recorded on the monument’s species list. We conducted map accuracy assessment in 2013 by visiting 505 stratified random accuracy assessment plots throughout the project area.
