Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Puukohola Heiau 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.

For PUHE, 31 map units (14 vegetated, five geologic, and 12 land-use/land-cover) were developed . The final list of map classes/units was directly crosswalked to corresponding plant associations and land use classes. PUHE map classes represent a compromise between the detail of the rUSNVC, resource management needs, and the limitations of the imagery. As a result, the mapping legend does not exactly match the rUSNVC. In most cases the rUSNVC and Park Special associations were used as map units. The interpreted and remotely sensed data were converted to Geographic Information System (GIS) databases and maps were printed, field tested, reviewed, and revised. The final map layer was accessed for thematic accuracy by overlaying 57 independent accuracy assessment points.

The final overall accuracy of the map layer was determined to be 97% with a Kappa value of 82%

Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Richmond National Battlefield Park

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.

Spatial data from field observation points and quantitative plots were used to edit the formation-level maps of Richmond National Battlefield Park to better reflect vegetation classes. Using ArcView 3.3, polygon boundaries were revised onscreen over leaf-off photography. Units used to label polygons on the map (i.e. map classes) are equivalent to one or more vegetation classes from the regional vegetation classification, or to a land-use class from the Anderson Level II classification system. Each polygon on the Richmond National Battlefield Park map was assigned to one of twenty-one map classes based on plot data, field observations, aerial photography signatures, and topographic maps. The mapping boundary was based on park boundary data obtained from Richmond National Battlefield Park in June 2004.

2024-2029 Five Year Prescribed Fire Plan for Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks

This layer depicts the planned prescribed fires for the next five years in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. This dataset is updated annually to reflect a different 5 year period.  The five year prescribed fire plan is submitted each year by the parks Fuels Specialist and approved by the Fire Management Officer. The plan is also reviewed for environmental compliance.

In the spatial data for the five year plan, each polygon delineates a separate segment or subsegment of a burn unit. Polygons are delineated at varying scales and varying levels of accuracy, which may or may not align with actual unit boundaries on the ground. (For example, the burn unit may be aligned to a stream as a containing feature. The polygon may be aligned to the corresponding stream in GIS, but the stream layer may not be accurate.) Whenever possible, map method and accuracy are described in each feature's inline metadata. However, burn units are frequently reused and original map method may not always be known.

Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument LiDAR Datasets

Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) datasets for Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument.

LiDAR data over Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument include Bare Earth Model, DEM, Highest Hit Model, Intensity Images, and LAS datasets. These data were collected as a project for the NPS in the Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument site in the fall of 2012. The Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument LiDAR project consisted of acquisition, post-processing, classification of LiDAR data and creation of final deliverable products. The goal of the project was to provide high accuracy bare-earth processed data suitable for the project area. All areas were collected with a Leica ALS50 Phase II mounted in a Cessna Caravan. There was an average pulse density of greater than or equal to 8 pulses/m squared over the Sunset Crater LiDAR terrain. All areas were surveyed with an opposing flight line side-lap of greater than or equal to 50 percent, a 100 percent overlap, to reduce laser shadowing and increase surface laser painting. The Leica laser systems record up to four range measurements, returns, per pulse. All discernible laser returns were processed for the output dataset.

To accurately solve for laser point position, the geographic coordinates w, y, z, the positional coordinates of the airborne sensor and the attitude of the aircraft were recorded continuously throughout the LiDAR data collection mission. Position of the aircraft was recorded continuously throughout the LiDAR data collection mission. Position of the aircraft was measured twice per second (2Hz) by an onboard differential GPS unit. Aircraft attitude was measured 200 times per second (200Hz) as pitch, roll, and yaw (heading) from an onboard inertial measurement unit (IMU). To allow for post-processing correction and calibration, aircraft/sensor position and attitude data are indexed by GPS time. The data was processed in the office using a suite of automated and manual techniques to process the data into the requested deliverables. Processing tasks included GPS control computations, kinematic corrections, calculation of laser point position, calibration for optimal relative and absolute accuracy, and classification of ground and non-ground points. The full details can be found in the report attached as a digital holding.

2023 Fire Return Interval Departure for Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks

This dataset is essential to identifying high priority areas most in need of burn treatment to optimize the use of limited funding. 

Fire return interval is the average period between fires in a given area.  In Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, fire return interval is estimated using vegetation type.  The estimation is based primarily on reconstructed fire history chronologies derived from tree-ring samples obtained from fire-scarred trees in the vicinity of the parks, or from the literature if the information for a vegetation type did not exist from within or near the park.  To provide a conservative estimate, the maximum average return interval for each vegetation class is used.

Fire return interval departure quantifies the difference between the expected and actual fire frequency in each vegetation type.  It is calculated using the equation:

(Time Since Last Fire - Fire Return Interval) / Fire Return Interval

The time since last fire is derived from historic fire records or based on the last widespread fire date recorded by fire history reconstructions.  The longer a time interval exceeds the historic return interval without a fire, the higher the priority rating for returning fire to this area.  The priority ratings are classified according to how many return intervals have been missed.  (The departure index ranges from -1 to 20 with 20 being the most extreme deviation from historic fire regimes.)

1: Extreme (5 or more intervals missed)
2: High (2-5 intervals missed)
3: Moderate (0-2 intervals missed)
4: Low/None (Less than 0 intervals missed)
99: Rock/Water (Nonburnable)

Hydrographic and Impairment Statistics Database: POCH

Hydrographic and Impairment Statistics (HIS) is a National Park Service (NPS) Water Resources Division (WRD) project established to track certain goals created in response to the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA). One water resources management goal established by the Department of the Interior under GRPA requires NPS to track the percent of its managed surface waters that are meeting Clean Water Act (CWA) water quality standards. This goal requires an accurate inventory that spatially quantifies the surface water hydrography that each bureau manages and a procedure to determine and track which waterbodies are or are not meeting water quality standards as outlined by Section 303(d) of the CWA. This project helps meet this DOI GRPA goal by inventorying and monitoring in a geographic information system for the NPS: (1) CWA 303(d) quality impaired waters and causes; and (2) hydrographic statistics based on the United States Geological Survey (USGS) National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). Hydrographic and 303(d) impairment statistics were evaluated based on a combination of 1:24,000 (NHD) and finer scale data (frequently provided by state GIS layers).
