Mount Rushmore National Monument, Field Plots Data Base for Vegetation Mapping
Entry ID:
usgs_nps_mountrushmore
Summary
Abstract:
Vegetation field plots at Mount Rushmore NM were visited, described, and
documented in a digital database. The database consists of 2 parts - (1) Physical Descriptive Data, and (2) Species Listings. The purpose of the data plots were to provide National Parks with the necessary tools to effectively manage their natural resources. Plot data is collected and analyzed to develop a classification (using the Standardized National Vegetation Classification System) and description of vegetation types in preparation for photointerpretation and mapping of the monument's vegetation types. Field sampling was conducted using releve plots. Information for this metadata was obtained from the site http://biology.usgs.gov/npsveg/moru/metamorufield.html and put into NASA Directory Interchange Format.
