Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Fort Pulaski National Monument Vegetation Mapping

The files linked to this reference are the geospatial data created as part of the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit. Current format is ArcGIS file geodatabase but older formats may exist as shapefiles.

A geodatabase containing various feature class layers and tables show the locations of vegetation types and general land cover (vegetation map), vegetation plot samples, AA sites, project boundary extent, and aerial photographic centers. The feature class layer for the FOPU vegetation map provides 251 polygons of detailed attribute data covering 2,543 ha, with an average polygon size of 11.2 ha. Of the area mapped, 177 polygons (70.5% of all polygons) represent natural/semi-natural vegetation types in the NVCS, encompassing 1,834.6 ha (72.1%) of the total map extent.

Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Fort Pulaski National Monument

This reference contains the imagery data used in the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit.  Orthophotos, raw imagery, and scanned aerial photos are common files held here.

Airborne GPS data was provided by Aero-Metric, Inc., as was the ground check point data. The project was referenced to the North American Datum of 1983/2007 (NAD83/07), UTM Zone 17 horizontally and to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 vertically. The aerial photographs were taken on 31 May 2009 at a scale of 1:12,000. Features were interpreted using 1:12,000 scale digital color-infrared aerial photography (flown 31 May 2009) through heads-up-digitizing in ArcGIS (Version 10.0, © 2010 Environmental Systems Research Institute, Redlands, California). Polygons were mapped to a 0.5-ha minimum mapping unit (MMU).

EAARL Lidar Topography-Gateway National Recreation Area, 2005

A bare earth elevation map (also known as a Digital Elevation Model or DEM) of Gateway National Recreation Area was produced from remotely-sensed, geographically-referenced elevation measurements in cooperation with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), National Air and Space Administration (NASA), and the National Park Service (NPS). Elevation measurements were collected over the area using the NASA Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL), a pulsed laser ranging system mounted onboard an aircraft to measure ground elevation, vegetation canopy, and coastal topography. The system uses high frequency laser beams directed at the earth's surface through an opening in the bottom of the aircraft's fuselage. The laser system records the time difference between emission of the laser beam and the reception of the reflected laser signal in the aircraft. The plane travels over the target area at approximately 50 meters per second at an elevation of approximately 300 m. The EAARL, developed by NASA at Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, measures ground elevation with a vertical resolution of 15 centimeters. A sampling rate of 3 kHz or higher results in an extremely dense spatial elevation data set. Over 100 kilometers of coastline can be easily surveyed within a 3- to 4-hour mission time period. When subsequent elevation maps for an area are analyzed, they provide a useful tool to make management decisions regarding land development.

Freshwater Snail Inventory at Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River - Field Data Sheets - Dataset As Delivered

Species Inventory project as-delivered dataset, scanned data sheets from the field as well as a template.

The Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River (UPDE) unit of the National Park Service partnered with the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University (ANS) to perform a freshwater snail inventory within the park. ANS and UPDE teams conducted field research in July and August of 2022 and 2023 using a combination of kick sampling and hand-picking methods to determine the abundance and diversity of freshwater snail populations. Fifty-four sites were chosen along the ~70 miles of the Delaware River within UPDE and included coldwater and warmwater fisheries zones. In 2022, field collections occurred at 30 sites along the river edge from Hancock, NY to the No. 2 railroad bridge near Mill Rift, PA. In 2023, field work occurred at 24 sites in more disturbed areas like river access points and boat launches, and within habitats that were not sampled in 2022 (i.e., backwater, channels, and islands). Snails were identified using traditional morphological taxonomy and DNA barcoding of the CO1 (Cytochrome c oxidase I) gene. Additional environmental DNA (eDNA) was analyzed from water collected at ten eDNA Atlas Sites. This study identified 27 taxa of snails, one of which is a non-native species, the Japanese Mystery Snail (Cipangopaludina japonica). A better understanding of the snail community and the ecosystem has been gained with the results of this inventory which will inform effective and responsible river management plans.

Avian inventory of Sagamore Hill National Historic Site: 2014 and 2015 Data

The Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network (NCBN) conducted avian surveys at Sagamore Hill National Historic Site (SAHI) in 2014 and 2015. All on-site habitats (landscaped, woodland and salt marsh) were sampled, although established points were only sampled in woodland and salt marsh areas. Sample points were established based on existing sample points for the Mid-Atlantic Network’s (MIDN) Forest Vegetation Monitoring so that surveys could be easily repeated in the future. A total of 85 species of birds were observed during 2014 and 2015, including approximately 9 species of special concern in New York.

Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve

The files linked to this reference are the geospatial data created as part of the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit. Current format is ArcGIS file geodatabase but older formats may exist as shapefiles.

To map the vegetation and land cover of JELA, 26 map classes were developed. Of these 26 map classes, 24 represent natural (including ruderal) vegetation types, most of which types are recognized in the USNVC. For the remaining 2 of the 26 map classes, 1 of the map classes represents a USNVC cultural subclass type for developed areas, and the other map class represents a non-USNVC type for nonvegetated open water. Features were interpreted from viewing 3-band digital aerial imagery using digital onscreen three-dimensional stereoscopic workflow systems in geographic information systems; digital aerial imagery was collected during July 25–26, 2014. The interpreted data were digitally and spatially referenced, thus making the spatial-database layers usable in a geographic information system. Polygon units were mapped to either a 0.5-hectare (ha) or 0.25-ha minimum mapping unit, depending on vegetation type. A geodatabase containing various feature-class layers and tables presents the locations of USNVC vegetation types (vegetation map layer), vegetation plot samples, verification sites, AA sites, project boundary extent, and aerial image centers and flight lines. The feature-class layers and related tables for the vegetation map layer provide 2,463 polygons of detailed attribute data covering 11,058.5 ha, with an average polygon size of 4.5 ha when physiognomic cover-density modifiers are not considered; with modifiers, the vegetation map consists of 2,867 polygons, with an average polygon size of 3.9 ha. The vegetation map includes the administrative boundary for the Barataria Preserve within JELA and the Fleming Plantation area.
