Wind Cave National Park, Field Plots Data Base for Vegetation Mapping
Entry ID:
usgs_nps_windcave
Summary
Abstract:
Vegetation field plots at Wind Cave NP were visited, described, and documented
in a digital database. The database consists of 2 parts - (1) Physical Descriptive Data, and (2) Species Listings. The vegetation plots were used to describe the vegetation in and around Wind Cave National Park and to assist in developing a final mapping classification system. Wind Cave National Park and about a 2 mile which includes private lands and portions of Custer State Park and Black Hills National Forest. Field sampling was conducted using releve plots. Information for this metadata was obtained from the site http://biology.usgs.gov/npsveg/wica/metawicafield.html and put into NASA Directory Interchange Format.
