Bandelier National Monument Vegetation Mapping Project - Spatial Vegetation Data

A vegetation map of Bandelier National Monument. This map is based on natural color orthophotography acquired in 2004 with a spatial resolution of 1 meter, displayed at 1:24,000 scale. Map units were delineated using aerial photo interpretation and image analysis based on 729 field survey points collected between 2003 and 2006. Final map compiled in ArcGIS Version 9.3, January, 2010. For details see Muldavin, E., A. Kennedy, C. Jackson, T. Neville, P. Neville, K. Schulz, and M. Reid. 2010.

Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument Vegetation Mapping Project - Spatial Vegetation Data

Vegetation map of Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument. A consistent, ecologically based vegetation classification forms the foundation for the development of an information-rich vegetation map. Vegetation classifications are ground-based descriptions of vegetation patterns that take into account floristic composition and abundance, site characteristics, and ecological dynamics. Accordingly, for SAPU, we used field sampling and analysis to develop a hierarchical classification following the National Vegetation Classification Standard (FGDC 1997 and; 2008).
