Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Natchez Trace Parkway

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 present the locations of USNVC vegetation types (vegetation map), vegetation plot samples, verification sites, AA sites, project boundary extent, and aerial image centers. The feature-class layer and related tables for the vegetation map provide 13,529 polygons of detailed attribute data covering 21,655.5 ha, with an average polygon size of 1.6 ha; the vegetation map coincides closely with the administrative boundary for NATR. Summary reports generated from the vegetation map layer of the map classes representing USNVC natural (including ruderal) vegetation types apply to 12,648 polygons (93.5% of polygons) and cover 18,542.7 ha (85.6%) of the map extent for NATR. The map layer indicates the Parkway to be 70.5% forest and woodland (15,258.7 ha), 0.3% shrubland (63.0 ha), and 14.9% herbaceous cover (3,221.0 ha). Map classes representing USNVC cultural types apply to 678 polygons (5.0% of polygons) and cover 2,413.9 ha (11.1%) of the map extent. A map class representing catastrophically disturbed vegetation (undefined in the USNVC) apply to 55 polygons (0.4% of polygons) and cover 158.8 ha (0.7%) of the map extent. Map classes representing nonvegetation open-water bodies (non-USNVC) apply to 148 polygons (1.1% of polygons) and cover 540.1 ha (2.5%) of the map extent.

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 three-year program was initiated to complete the task of classifying and mapping the vegetation at HAFO; the results of the HAFO project are being used to develop this volunteer project for MIIN. Phase One which was directed by HAFO and network staff in conjunction with NatureServe developed a vegetation classification using the National Vegetation Classification System (NVCS). Phase Two, directed by Northwest Management, Inc.’s (NMI) GIS Laboratory and Cogan Technology, Incorporated (CTI) produced a digital vegetation map for HAFO. To classify the HAFO vegetation, 85 representative plots located throughout the monument were sampled during the summer of 2006. Analysis of the plot data by the Idaho Conservation Data Center (ICDC) in the winter of 2006-2007 produced 34 distinct plant associations.

Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Saratoga National Historic 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.

Following the vegetation plot data analysis, the preliminary vegetation map was edited and refined to produce a revised preliminary vegetation map prior to thematic accuracy assessment (AA). Using ArcMap 9.2 (ESRI 1999-2006), polygon boundaries were revised on-screen using the newly acquired aerial orthophotography (digital photomosaic) based on the classification plot data, field observations, classification analyses, aerial photography signatures, and topographic maps. Each polygon was assigned the USNVC Community Element Global (CEGL) code of a preliminary vegetation association based on the information sources listed above. Second, third, and fourth CEGL code choices were entered in cases of uncertainty, or for polygons representing mosaics of two or more vegetation types.

Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Pipestone 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.

Random sample points were generated in ArcGIS. Points were buffered 40 meters from the park boundary and 80 meters from another point. The minimum mapping unit used in delineating vegetation polygons was 0.5 hectare. All random points were selected within the park boundary to avoid any private land issues.
Randomly selected site locations were loaded onto a Garmin GPS unit for field navigation. All accuracy assessment field work was completed on June 26, 2012. Field staff was provided with a GPS unit, dichotomous key for mapping vegetation map classes and vegetation class definitions.
Plot shape and size varied according to the extent of the vegetation class patch containing the sample point. Circular 0.25 hectare (28 m radius) plots were used for larger patches while circular 0.1 hectare (18 m radius) plots were used for small patches approaching the minimum mapping unit. A circular plot size of 0.5 hectare (40 m radius) was used to capture information for a single large homogenous patch. In all cases, plot size exceeded the minimum patch size for PIPE.

Minimum Mapping Unit = 0.5 hectare
Minimum Patch Size=.007 hectares
Total Size = 55 Polygons
Average Polygon Size = 5.39 acres (2.18 hectares)
Overall Thematic Accuracy = 97.9%

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 map showing the locations of vegetation associations in the park was created, following the NVIP protocols. Digital geospatial databases were created for the ROVA project in its entirety. In early spring 2006, following the vegetation classification plot data analysis, the 2003 preliminary vegetation map of the Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt NHS (excluding Roosevelt Farm and Forest), Val-Kill, and Vanderbilt Mansion NHS was edited and refined to produce a revised vegetation map prior to thematic accuracy assessment (AA). In addition, in early spring of 2008, the 2007 Roosevelt Farm and Forest preliminary vegetation map was edited and refined to produce a revised vegetation map prior to AA. Using ArcMap 9.2 (ESRI 1999-2006), both preliminary maps were revised by editing polygon boundaries on-screen based on the classification plot data, field observations, classification analyses, aerial photography signatures, and topographic maps.

APPA HUC10 Shell AEA

Dataset defines a "zone" around the Appalachian National Scenic Trail (A.T.) that is intended to define an area of interest. The boundary is NOT an ownership map, but is instead a zone around the A.T. that can be used to identify existing data or other information related to the A.T. or that may be useful for describing A.T. resources. The boundary of the dataset was established by selecting all HUC10 watershed that are within 5 statute miles of the A.T. land base. There are 236 HUC10 watersheds within this zone. All 236 watersheds were subsequently merged into a single polygon to create the "shell."

Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Mississippi National River and 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.

ArcGIS software was used as the GIS platform for the onscreen digital mapping. Because the 3D images were viewed directly in the GIS environment, vegetation could be mapped directly into ArcGIS. The polygon vector data were stored using an ArcGIS file geodatabase, which was projected in in Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), Zone 15, by using the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83). The NPS VIP standard MMU of 0.5 ha was applied to mapping forest and cultural types. For shrub, herbaceous, and sparsely vegetated types, as well as non-vegetation features, a MMU of 0.25 ha was applied. This smaller MMU was applied because these vegetation types were comparatively rare across the park, the degree of vegetation diversity over small areas was higher, and the isolated patches across MISS were more prevalent. For woodlands, a MMU of 0.5 ha was applied to deciduous woodlands and a MMU of 0.25 ha was applied to conifer woodlands due to the individual circumstances surrounding these woodlands. Also, when vegetation types were found unique to their immediate surroundings (e.g., an herbaceous wetland within an upland forest), mapping below the MMU was allowed. All geospatial products for the MISS vegetation mapping project have been projected in UTM, Zone 15, by using the NAD 83.
