Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Guilford Courthouse National Military Park

This reference contains the imagery data used in the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit. Orthophotos, raw imagery, and scanned aerial photos are common files held here. We supplied the University of Georgia team with all plot data already collected and a dichotomous key to the communities of the park and we walked throughout the park to help them identify unique mapping units. Since photointerpreters rely heavily on canopy species composition, understory species composition, and disturbance to classify polygons and ecologists rely just as heavily on the shrub and herb layer to classify types, the mapping units and the vegetation classification units do not always “crosswalk” (match up) perfectly. The last step of the project (not detailed in this report) will be to work reconcile mapping units with vegetation associations to produce mapping units that match up well with the ecological units of the National Vegetation Classification.
