Description:
Color infrared aerial photography (1:15,860) taken in August of 1997 was used as the starting point for the 1997 NPS Vegetation Survey. The final vegetation map was derived through a coordinated process of photo-interpretation, field reconnaissance, plot sampling, verification, and accuracy assessment (Aerial Information Systems 2007). The minimum mapping unit area was 0.5 hectare. A crosswalk from the original vegetation classes used in the survey to the WHR classes was developed by Bill Kuhn (NPS), in consultation with Dr. Jan van Wagtendonk (USGS) and Dr. James Thorne (U.C. Davis).
