Description:
Abstract:
In 1998, a vegetation type map was produced using aerial photos and ground reconnaisance. Vegetation types were envisioned as areas greater than 10 acres where 1 to 4 species of plants were dominant, i.e. controlled the resources in the landscape or were a typical and prominent component of the type. Vegetation types were made more inclusive by listing 2nd, 3rd and 4th dominants that would be characteristic of the whole delineated area (not every acre or even every 10 acres in the vegetation type would have all of the listed dominants). When shrub canopy cover exceeded 5 percent they were considered to be the primary dominant.
Purpose:
To give an overall view of vegetation types and their extent. Detailed studies in particular areas will be necessary to fully describe the plant communities.
