Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Kennewsaw Mountain National Battlefield Park
2005-2015. Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Kennewsaw Mountain National Battlefield 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. The mapping area was 2,543 hectares (ha), encompassing the entire boundary of the park plus an additional buffered area of adjacent land. NatureServe ecologists identified plant associations for the park and a remote sensing specialist from the Southeast Coast Network conducted the vegetation mapping using 1:12,000-scale, color-infrared aerial photography and digital orthophotography. NatureServe collected vegetation and environmental data from 35 vegetation classification plots, and the remote sensing specialist assessed 91 observation points. The Atkins consulting firm was contracted by the Southeast Coast Network to conduct an accuracy assessment (AA), which entailed sampling 243 additional points. Fieldwork and mapping were completed between 2005 and 2015.
