Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Lincoln Boyhood National Monument
2011-2013. Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Lincoln Boyhood 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. The field methods used in sampling and classifying the vegetation followed the methodology outlined by the NPS Vegetation Inventory Program team (see Jennings et al. 2009, Lea 2011, National Park Service 2011). A previous historic and current vegetation map had been generated for the site (Pavlovic and White 1989). Also, historic air photos were available. This information, together with an initial rapid field survey and collection of observation points in the fall of 2011, was used to inform the design of field surveys and ultimately vegetation classification and mapping. Classification was based on 30 field plots and 18 georeferenced observation points. Mapping was based on air photo interpretation and heads-up digitizing of polygons. Accuracy assessment points obtained during 2013 verified that the map is 100% accurate
