The Petrified Forest National Park Vegetation Map Database was developed
as a primary product in the Petrified Forest National Park Vegetation
Classification, Distribution, and Mapping project. The map database maps
vegetation at four levels of thematic organization at the park: the
base, group, macro-group, and management map classes. Most of the base
map classes represent plant communities identified to National
Vegetation Classification associations. The associated report,
Vegetation Classification and Distribution Mapping Report: Petrified
Forest National Park, describes in detail the methods used to develop
the map database and map classes. The project was sponsored by the
USA-National Vegetation Mapping Program and the National Park Service
(NPS) Southern Colorado Plateau Network and the work was executed by a
multi-agency and organizational team. The vegetation map database covers
the park and an approximately 1 kilometer buffer around the park boundary.
Note: The data is displayed using the "group class" attribute
in Data Basin.
