Vegetation Classification and Mapping of Arkansas Post National Memorial, ArkansasnProject Report.

摘要

Arkansas Post National Memorial (ARPO) is situated in southwestern Arkansas, near the confluence of the Arkansas and the White Rivers. The site was the location of a trading post established in 1686 Henri de Tontit near the Quapaw village of Osotouy. A vegetation classification and mapping project was initiated in 2012 and completed in 2014. Protocols and products were produced following National Park Service Vegetation Inventory Program guidelines. Classification was based on 38 field plots and 75 georeferenced observation points. Mapping was based on air photo interpretation and heads-up digitizing of polygons. Accuracy assessment points obtained during 2014 verified that the map is 100% accurate.
