Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Fort Pulaski National Monument
2005-2013. Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Fort Pulaski 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 mapping area is 2,543 ha, encompassing the entire boundary of FOPU and an additional buffered area of adjacent land. NatureServe ecologists identified plant associations for FOPU and a remote sensing specialist from the SECN completed the vegetation mapping using 1:12,000-scale, color-infrared aerial photography and digital orthophotography. NatureServe collected vegetation and environmental data from 17 vegetation classification plots, and the Remote Sensing Specialist assessed 47 observation points. Two Student Conservation Association (SCA) interns hired by the SECN conducted an accuracy assessment (AA), which entailed sampling 133 additional points. Fieldwork and mapping were completed between 2005 and 2013.
