Pilot Implementation of the Field Methods and Lessons Learned Using the Vegetation Classification System for South Florida Natural Areas
Bradley KA and Woodmansee SW. 2007. Pilot Implementation of the Field Methods and Lessons Learned Using the Vegetation Classification System for South Florida Natural Areas
The South Florida / Caribbean Network of the National Park Service (NPS) has entered into Cooperative Agreement H5120040010 with The Institute for Regional Conservation (IRC) to collect field data for a quality control assessment of the vegetation map being prepared by Avineon, Inc. (Avineon). Field surveys were started by IRC on August 22, 2006. While the project is still ongoing, this report provides an analysis and discussion of IRC’s data collection techniques during the pilot implementation phase (the first three days of flights), at the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge (Panther Refuge). A comparison with data collected at the Panther Refuge two months later is also included. Lessons learned from all fieldwork are discussed.
