Landcover mapping for Bering Land Bridge National Preserve and Cape Krusenstern National Monument
ABR, Inc.—Environmental Research & Services. Landcover mapping for Bering Land Bridge National Preserve and Cape Krusenstern National Monument
the landcover map of Bering Land Bridge National Preserve and Cape Krusenstern National Monument created for the National Park Service showing ecotypes (local-scale ecosystems) that combine physiography (i.e., coastal, riverine, alpine), bedrock geology, topography (DEM modeling), and spectral characteristics of vegetation derived from image processing (ERDAS 8.6). Ecotypes are modeled from supervised spectral classification and vector layers that best partition geomorphic, hydrologic, pedologic, and vegetative characteristics of the area. Map Sources: Landsat TM Images from 28 June 2000, 1 Aug 2002, 3 Aug 2002; Ecological Subsections map from NPS for physiography and bedrock geology; USGS National Elevation Dataset for elevation, slope, and moisture index. Field surveys were conducted in BELA during 10–15 July 2002 and in CAKR during 11–16 July 2003 (Figures 2 and 3) to collect ecosystem component data.
