Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Gateway National Recreation Area
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.
Following the vegetation plot data analysis, the preliminary vegetation map was edited and refined to produce a revised preliminary vegetation map prior to thematic accuracy assessment. Using ArcMap 9.2 (ESRI 1999-2006), polygon boundaries were revised on screen based on the plot data, field observations, classification analyses, aerial photography signatures, and topographic maps. Each polygon was assigned the NVC Community Element Global (CEGL) code of a preliminary vegetation association based on the information sources listed above. Second, third, and fourth CEGL code choices were entered in cases of uncertainty, or for polygons representing mosaics of two or more types.
