Oregon's Historic Vegetation (1938) - reclassified to functional type

Sep 20, 2010
Description:
This is a map of historical presettlement vegetation for the state of Oregon, created with Arcview 3.2 by merging digital data from different sources: H. J. Andrews, General Land Office (GLO), Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO), BLM, Oregon Gap analysis. The H. J. Andrews map forms the background into which more detailed coverages were incorporated. The data consist of an ArcView shapefile. Scale varies throughout the coverage, depending on the source of the data; the overall scale is 1:100,000.

The vegetation types (species) were reclassified to functional vegetation types based on Kuchler's 1975 vegetation data, as modified by Brendan Rogers. Reclassification was executed by Jeremiah Osborne-Gowey of the Conservation Biology Institute.
