Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Wilsons Creek National Battlefield
2009-2012. Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Wilsons Creek National Battlefield
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. A generalized land cover classification was available from the WICR NRCA (Annis et al. 2011), and this information together with NAIP air photos, digital soils information, digital elevation models, surface geology maps, and field-collected observation data were used to inform the design of field surveys and ultimately vegetation classification and mapping. Vegetation data were collected at 50 plots by MoRAP staff in June of 2011. All recorded data were entered into the NPS PLOTS v3.2. a Microsoft Access-derived program. The PLOTS database was developed for the NPS National Vegetation Mapping Program so that data entry fields mirror the standard field form. Data entry was facilitated by assigning each plant taxon a unique, standardized code and name based on the PLANTS database developed by Natural Resources Conservation Service in cooperation with the Biota of North America Program.
