    • Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Biscayne National Park

    Metadata Updated: June 5, 2024

    The files linked to this reference are the geospatial data created as part of the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit. Current format is ArcGIS file geodatabase but older formats may exist as shapefiles.

    This Biscayne National Park vegetation map, together with its precise 1:300 scale shoreline, should serve as a turn-of-the-21st century baseline for the extent of vegetation communities within Biscayne National Park. The entire park is only a few meters above mean sea level and this vegetation and shoreline map should be particularly useful for documenting the effects of sea-level rise, tropical storms, and other stressors, on the wetlands and forested communities of Biscayne National Park. The map should also be useful for park planning, assisting management of threatened and endangered species, and evaluating effects of restoration efforts and other activities.
