Report Supplements and Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Olympic National Park
2005-2020. Report Supplements and Field data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Olympic National Park. National Park Service
This reference is an assemblage of field and report data collected as part the baseline vegetation inventory for the park unit. The files include high and low resolution map layouts, vegetation plot data, field photos, accuracy assessment contingency table, maps showing locations of vegetation plots and accuracy assessment plots, and supplemental materials for the report, including map class descriptions and a key to the map classes. The map is based on a vegetation classification developed during the project and was created using an inductive modeling approach. Data used to construct the classification were collected between 2005 and 2015. Model training data relied only on plots from OLYM, collected between 2005 and 2019. Independent field accuracy assessment data were collected in 2013 and applied to the final map generated later. The final vegetation map, including a buffer surrounding the park, contains 43 natural vegetated classes, seven mostly unvegetated natural classes, and four classes representing burned areas or anthropogenic disturbance. The accuracy assessment was based on 859 independent field-collected plots representing all the vegetated classes, as well as alluvial and colluvial barrens, which also often host vegetation communities.
