Products
The park-based vegetation community classification was developed from both plot data and field-census polygon data (map units). An accuracy assessment was completed in 2016. Following accuracy assessment, final products were developed, including a report, a digital map, and full vegetation community (“association”) descriptions. The final report includes methods, descriptions of vegetation types, vegetation key, map accuracy assessment results and contingency table, and map class description and visual guide.
The products of vegetation mapping projects are stored and managed in the National Park Service's Data Store, a repository for documents and publications relating to park resources. From the highlighted items below, click on the type of information you are looking for.
