Vegetation Classification and Mapping of Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial, Indiana. Project Report.

摘要

Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial (LIBO) is situated in southern Indiana, near the small town of Lincoln City and Lincoln State Park. It lies within a formerly forested landscape, but most of the park has been cleared in the past. A vegetation classification and mapping project was initiated in 2011 and completed in 2013. Protocols and products were produced following National Park Service Vegetation Inventory Program guidelines. Classification was based on 30 field plots and 18 georeferenced observation points. Mapping was based on air photo interpretation and heads-up digitizing of polygons. Accuracy assessment points obtained during 2013 verified that the map is 100% accurate.
