Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Yosemite National Park [and Devils Postpile National Monument]
1998-2003. Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Yosemite National Park [and Devils Postpile 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 Yosemite mapping project was initiated in 1996 as a cooperative endeavor between NatureServe, Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), Aerial Information Systems, Inc. (AIS), the National Park Service (NPS), and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Aerial photography was acquired in 1997, and field sampling occurred in 1998 and 1999 to support development of a vegetation classification for the park and vicinity. The photointerpretation phase for the Yosemite project was completed between 2000 and 2002, and the accuracy assessment (AA) data collection phase took place from 2002 to 2003. Accuracy assessment data were analyzed and the map finalized in 2006 with reporting completed in 2007. We mapped the vegetation of Devils Postpile National Monument, within the coniferous forest zone at the headwaters of the San Joaquin, as part of this project.
