Acidic deposition along the Appalachian Trail corridor and its effects on acid-sensitive terrestrial and aquatic resources: Results of the Appalachian Trail MEGA-transect atmospheric deposition effects study. Natural Resource Report supporting GIS data.

GIS data used for report analysis.  Includes gdb features for base GIS, critical loads data, deposition, landcover, protected areas, soil chemistry, target loads, target loads predictors and water chemistry.  

The Appalachian National Scenic Trail (AT), a unit of the National Park Service (NPS), spans nearly 2,200 miles from Georgia to Maine, encompassing a diverse range of ecosystems. Acidic deposition (acid rain) threatens the AT’s natural resources.  Acid rain is a result of sulfur (S) and nitrogen (N) compounds produced from fossil fuel combustion, motor vehicles, and agricultural practices. The AT is particularly vulnerable to S and N because it passes along ridge tops that receive higher levels of acid rain than lower valley terrain, and these ridges are often underlain by bedrock with minimal ability to buffer acidic inputs. Further, there are numerous S and N emission sources across the region. In the environment, acidic deposition can lower the pH of streams and soils which can ultimately affect fish, invertebrates, and vegetation that inhabit these areas. To address this concern, the MegaTransect Deposition Effects Study evaluated the condition and sensitivity of the AT corridor with respect to acidic deposition, and defined air pollution thresholds (critical and target loads) and recovery rates. Findings indicate that additional S emission reductions are needed to restore the AT.

Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Redwood National and State Parks

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.

A vegetation classification and vegetation and land cover map of Redwood National and State Parks (RNSP) was created from remotely sensed and ground-verified data. The project was undertaken to provide data for the National Vegetation Mapping Inventory Program (VMI) with which to inform local NPS management and the public. Products of the project include a digital vegetation and land cover map, a taxonomic classification, quantitative floristic vegetation plot data, and report.
The map employed the U.S. National Vegetation Classification (USNVC) to map 142,062 acres (57,491 hectares) of RNSP. Forty-five (45) vegetated map classes at the level of USNVC alliance and four non-vegetated land cover classes were mapped. Eighty-nine (89)% (126,796 acres) of RNSP mapped as forest or woodland, 0.9% (1,322 acres) was mapped as shrubland, 3.7% (5,294 acres) was mapped as herbaceous vegetation, 1.4% (2,053 acres) was mapped as barren, 4.2% (6,035 acres) was mapped as water, and 0.4% (562 acres) was not classified and was mapped as unknown land cover.

A thematic accuracy assessment was conducted on the 30 most abundant vegetation classes, employing 512 observations throughout RNSP. The overall accuracy at the alliance level vegetation classes was found to be 65.5%. When the classes are aggregated to thematically coarser levels, the accuracy is 86.2% at the USNVC group level and 95.4% at the level of USNVC macrogroup.

Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Cape Cod National Seashore

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.

Cape Cod National Seashore contracted the James Sewall Company (Old Town, Maine) for fall “leaf-on” color infrared aerial photography in the fall of 2000. A flight plan chosen was identical to one used previously by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection Wetlands Program to produce photos at a scale of 1:12000. The plan allowed for the standard 60% overlap between frames and 30% overlap between flight lines resulting in stereo photo pairs for interpretation. Color IR (infrared) photography was chosen to maximize distinctions between green wavelengths in upland vegetation. Aerial photography was completed for the entire flight plan on October 4, 2000 and delivered as both positive transparencies and prints.

Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Curecanti National Recreation Area

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.

Vegetation and land use were interpreted to as detailed a level as possible from high-resolution, 9” x 9” stereo pairs of 1:12,000-scale true color aerial photography. Polygons representing vegetation or land use map classes were delineated on Mylar overlays on paper plots of the orthophotographs and transferred to a spatial database. The project used the program standard minimum mapping unit of 0.5 ha with few exceptions.

Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Morristown National Historical Park

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.

This project made use of existing photography rather than obtaining new aerial photos. Black and white 1:16,800 leaf-off aerial photographs of Morris County, dated April 24, 1999, were regarded at the inception of the project as sufficiently recent and of an appropriate scale and were selected for interpretation. The photos were obtained from Lockwood Mapping Company, Rochester, New York. Metadata records for the aerial photo digital tiff files were prepared according to current Federal Geographic Data Committee standards (FGDC 1998); however, available metadata for the photographs were limited.

This ArcGIS geodatabase contains all the raster and vector data layers associated with the elevation surveying and inundation modeling done for the project.  The layers include: ground survey elevations for critical park areas, long-term benchmark locations and data (backbone sites), first floor elevation (FFE) surveys along with inundation risk, and SLOSH and ADCIRC inundation modeling outputs (water surface elevation grids).  In addition, byproducts of the modeling are also included (water depth grids and polygons and dryland areas (SLOSH only)).

Estimated Extent of Coastal Flooding due to Sea Level Change for 118 U.S. National Parks

This data release consists of the estimated extent of inundation due to sea level change for the U.S. national coastal parks of the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and Guam. The data and inundation results enable coastal flooding analysis and display at high resolution for 118 parks.

The estimated inundation extent was achieved by utilizing a modified bathtub approach as developed by the Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service (NOS), Coastal Services Center (CSC) (Allen et al., 2010). The NOAA methodology “attempts to account for local and regional tidal variability and hydrological connectivity”. Sea level change polygon extents consist of 4 model run
scenarios. The maps are based on Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs), which are four greenhouse gas concentration trajectories. Two RCPs were chosen for this study, a moderate RCP4.5 and the most extreme RCP8.5. Each RCP was projected to the years 2050 and 2100.

Other data available in this series includes low-lying areas, defined by NOAA as “hydrologically "unconnected" areas that may flood”; the DEM used to model the inundation; and USGS DEMs for selected park units. The estimated extents and model DEM are available in ArcGIS personal geodatabase format. The USGS DEMs are available in geoTIFF format. The extents and model DEM have a UTM projection and NAD83 (2011) datum. The USGS DEMs have a geographic projection, NAD83 horizontal datum, and NAVD88 vertical datum unless noted otherwise.
