Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Saratoga National Historic Park
2005-2014. Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Saratoga National Historic 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. To classify the vegetation, 185 representative classification plots were sampled throughout SARA using traditional phytosociological methods (i.e., relevé sampling). The relevé plots were located and sampled primarily in 2003-2005. Three hundred and three (303) vascular plant species were recorded; the plot data were classified into 42 vegetation associations using accepted statistical analyses. An additional 11 associations not represented by relevé plots and all 53 associations were described in detail. A dichotomous field key was developed for these vegetation associations to assist with field recognition and classification.
