Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Ozark National Scenic Riverways

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.

Vegetation communities in Ozark National Scenic Riverways (ONSR) were mapped at two levels using a hybrid combination of statistical methods and photointerpretation. The primary mapping level is to the highly detailed association level of the USNVC. This map includes 49 cover classes. Twenty-four of these classes relate to USNVC vegetation associations. The remaining types include cultural features, non-vegetated features, and ruderal communities on abandoned agricultural lands. Overall map classification accuracy is 63 percent. The secondary mapping level combines communities with similar appearance and ecologically related communities into Community Types, which are subunits of even more broadly defined Ecological Systems. Ecological Systems and Community Types identified for this project aided mapping to a much greater extent than alliance-level mapping and are more relevant to resource management within the park. This map includes 33 classes and overall classification accuracy is 77 percent. The scale of both maps is 1:24000, and the grain of the raster-formatted vegetation map is 10 by 10 meter grid cells. Spatial accuracy is less than or equal to fifteen meters.

Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Ninety Six National Historic Site

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.

In order to accommodate the complex vegetation patterns often found in National Park units and generally maintain a minimum mapping unit of 0.5 ha, a three-tiered scheme was developed for attributing vegetation polygons. Where appropriate, secondary and tertiary vegetation classes are added to describe mixed-plant communities within the polygon. Secondary and tertiary classes were especially useful for describing ecotones, and for polygons with a patchwork of communities below the minimum mapping unit size. Final products included seamless park-wide GIS databases in ArcGIS geodatabase and ArcView shapefile formats of detailed overstory vegetation communities, along with vegetation statistics, hardcopy maps and orthophoto images plotted at large scale corresponding to the park area.

Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area

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.

Relevant publicly available GIS data sets that cover the study area were downloaded and archived. Data sets include roads, hydrology, boundary files (political and NPS), digital elevation models (DEMs), and additional aerial photographs. A geodatabase in ArcGIS 10.2 format was created as a container to store and organize the data. The mapping area was split in two sections: park and buffer. The park was defined as the area within the prescribed boundaries of the park, while the buffer pertained to the region within 500 meters (1,640 ft) outside of the park boundary. Detailed vegetation mapping using CEGL codes was performed within the park whereas more general mapping using a revised Anderson-type II hierarchical classification scheme was used in the buffer area.

Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Natural Bridges National Monument

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.

The mapping component of the NABR project used a combination of methods to interpret and delineate vegetation polygons. A trained interpreter visually examined the 9 x 9-inch photographs in stereo to identify vegetation polygons. Polygons were drawn on Mylar overlays that were later scanned, or digitally on a computer screen. Digitizing was performed using vector editing in ArcGIS. Each vegetation and land use polygon so produced was given map class and other descriptive attributes. The Monument and an area of environs surrounding it were interpreted and mapped to the same level of detail. Each polygon was assigned a map class number, alpha code and name, Anderson land use class, and vegetation density, pattern, and height attributes. In order to improve the utility of the map and related data, the spatial database was moved into a geodatabase format. This format allows text and image information to be incorporated and linked to spatial coordinates. Twenty map classes were developed to describe the NABR vegetation mapping project area. Of these, 17 are vegetation map classes and 3 are non-vegetated land-use map classes. Of the 17 vegetation map classes, one is represented by points only, one is a single polygon, and three represent single NVC plant associations. The remaining 12 vegetation map classes contain multiple plant associations.

Kalaupapa National Historical Park Shoreline Bird Inventory Dataset

Shoreline bird surveys were conducted in Kalaupapa National Historical Park to inventory avian species diversity and relative abundance. Seasonal migrants (waterfowl, shorebirds) were the primary focus of the routine surveys, but seabirds, raptorial species, and native waterbirds were also recorded as encountered. The coastline of Kalaupapa National Historical Park was surveyed once over a two day period, 5-6 April 2005. The park coast consists of sandy and rocky beaches, steep rock cliffs adjoining grassy pastures, and uninhabited offshore islets. Pacific golden plovers, wandering tattlers, and ruddy turnstones are common seasonal migrants that were observed along the survey route. Four seabird species common to the Hawaiian Islands, great frigatebird, wedge-tailed shearwater, re-tailed tropicbird, and white-tailed tropicbird were observed as well. An unknown booby species, most likely red-footed booby was seen on the offshore islets. All passerine species observed along the shoreline route were non-native. No waterfowl or raptors were observed during the survey. Also included are GIS shapefiles of the shoreline bird inventory route taken, and all species detected during the inventory.

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 digital vegetation map was produced as a personal geodatabase using Environmental Systems Research Institute ArcGIS software. The base layer for vegetation mapping was a digital orthophoto mosaic of the park developed by North Carolina State University from color infra-red aerial photography flown for this project in April 2003. The geodatabase includes separate point feature classes for plots, transects, and observations, and polygon feature classes (clipped and unclipped by the park boundary) for vegetation and non-vegetated map classes. The vegetation map consists of 47 map classes, including 15 upland forest and woodland vegetation types, one lichen and sparse vegetation type, 15 riparian vegetation types, two headwater wetland vegetation types, three aquatic feature types, eight cultural and disturbed types, and three transportation feature types.

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 produce the digital map, we used 1:12,000-scale, true-color aerial photography acquired over several days in June 2004, in addition to the 2005 field plots. Both avenues were used to interpret the vegetation. All 34 map units were developed and directly cross-walked or matched to corresponding plant associations and land-use classes. All of the interpreted and remotely sensed data were converted to Geographic Information System (GIS) databases using ArcGIS© software. Draft maps were printed, reviewed, and revised.
