The Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve (TAPR) Vegetation Mapping Project was organized and coordinated by the Kansas Biological Survey (KBS) at the University of Kansas, in cooperation with NatureServe, in accordance with the standards set forth by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) - National Park Service (NPS) Vegetation Mapping Program.The TAPR Vegetation Mapping Project was initiated because the preserve protects a nationally significant example of the once vast tallgrass prairie ecosystem. Of the 400,000 square miles of tallgrass prairie that once covered the North American continent, less than four percent remains, primarily in the Flint Hills. Although the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve had been mapped...
This data layer identifies location and boundaries for 100 randomly located plots used to assess the accuracy of the Hakalau Forest Unit (HFU) map area for the vegetation map of the Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge Hakalau Forest Unit and adjacent lands.
Vegetation map of Gateway National Recreation Area provides local names for vegetation types, as well as crosswalks to the National Vegetation Classification System (NVCS), including association, alliance and formation level attributes. Crosswalks to the NVCS were determined on 29 June 2007. Because this dataset is post-accuracy assessment, the thematic accuracy is not known. The preliminary pre-accuracy assessment dataset has an accuracy that has been determined, however, this is the "corrected", but untested, dataset.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center (UMESC) has produced the Vegetation Spatial Database Coverage (vegetation map) for the Acadia National Park Vegetation Mapping Project, USGS-NPS Vegetation Mapping Program (VMP). The vegetation map is of Acadia National Park (NP) and extended environs, providing 99,693 hectares (246,347 acres) of map data. Of this coverage, 52,872 hectares (130,650 acres) is non-vegetated ocean, bay, and estuary (53% of coverage). Acadia NP comprises 19,276 hectares (47,633 acres) of the total data coverage area (19%, 40% not counting ocean and estuary data). Over 7,120 polygons make up the coverage, each with map class description and, for vegetation...

This polygon feature class represents vegetation communities mapped at Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. The polygons were generated using guidelines set by the Standardized National Vegetation Classification System (October 1995). Original lines were drawn on mylar overlays using the DOQs collected in June of 2002. Hard copy 9x9 photography was used for photo interpretation. Traditional image interpretation cues were used to develop the polygons, such as shape, size, pattern, tone, texture, color, and shadow. Additional data layers were used in aiding the interpretation, such as slope, hydrology, geography, and ground-collected vegetation information. The attributed vegetation classes were subjected to...
A total of 294.7 acres (119.3 hectares) are within the accepted boundaries of PIPE (Figure 8). The standard minimum mapping unit for NPS vegetation mapping projects is defined as 0.5 hectare, although several mapped polygons were smaller for PIPE. Central Mesic Tallgrass Prairie made up 57.3% of the vegetated area of the monument, and dominated the view shed (157.1 acres; 63.6 hectares). The Restored Tallgrass Prairie made up another 24.4% of the monument, and was continuous with Central Mesic Tallgrass Prairie. Northern Tallgrass Quartzite Outcrop vegetation formed an essentially continuous, narrow belt along the length of a Sioux quartzite outcrop, including the lip of the rim of a bluff in some areas, and made...
This shapefile is an vegetation map of Petersburg National Battlefield, Virginia. It was developed by The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, Division of Natural Heritage in cooperation with North Carolina State University's Center for Earth Observation for the Northeast Region of the National Park Service. The data was created following general guidelines set forth by the USGS-NPS Vegetation Mapping Program. Map classes are crosswalked to the U.S. National Vegetation Classification (USNVC) or level II of the Andersons land use land cover classification system. Crosswalks to the USNVC were determined on September 27, 2007. The map is based on field work performed in the summer of 2002-2006 and photo...
Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site forested and non-forested land cover were typed with US National Vegetation Classification (2007) types, from 2004 Color Infrared, 1:8,000 scale photography and ground information. Data were projected to UTM, NAD83, zone 18, meters.
Vegetation at HUTR was mapped and classified by a combination of plot data, field visits and photo interpretation. Aerial photographs from September 14th, 2003 were used during the photo interpretation process. Field data used to aid in the assignment of map labels was collected in August of 2006. The protocols and standards used are those for small parks and are described in the NPS/BRD program documents (National Mapping Program Field Methods for Vegetation Mapping (1994a) for small parks (section 5.1). BOR was contracted by the Southern Colorado Plateau Network in 2005 to map approximately 1,639 acres (~ 663 ha) of Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site and environs. Vegetation mapping for HUTR encompassed...

Multivariate analysis of the 2003-2004 plot data revealed 67 National Vegetation Classification (NVC) plant associations,...
This geodatabase is an association-level map of the vegetation of the Morristown National Historical Park created using the US National Vegetation Classification (NVC). Fourteen NVC associations and four land use categories were mapped. Field work was conducted in 2003 and 2004 during which 22 vegetation plots were recorded on standardized field forms. Plot data were entered into the NPS PLOTS 2.0 database (NatureServe 2003), then exported to a spreadsheet. The data were analyzed using PC-ORD version 4.0 Multivariate Analysis package (McCune and Mefford 1999), and the resulting vegetation types were crosswalked to the NVC. Those types not previously described by the NVC were newly created provisional types. Altered...
