Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Fort Frederica National Monument
2005-2012. Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Fort Frederica 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 192 hectares (474 ac), encompassing the entire boundary of FOFR and an additional buffered area of adjacent private lands. NatureServe ecologists identified plant associations for FOFR 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 four vegetation classification plots, and the remote sensing specialist assessed 10 observation points. The SECN hired and trained Student Conservation Association (SCA) interns to conduct the accuracy assessment (AA), which entailed sampling 74 additional points. Fieldwork and mapping were completed between 2005 and 2012.
