National Park Service Unknown Version 1.0 vector digital data http://www1.usgs.gov/vip/cagr/cagrgeodata.zip doi:10.5066/F7M043BF This layer contains spatial information for 25 plots sampled during vegetation mapping and classification efforts at Casa Grande Ruins NM, AZ. Data was collected by field crews employeed by the Sonoran Desert Network, Inventory and Monitoring program (SODN). Points represent plot origin corners. Plots were established to sample and subsequently, characterize the vegetation at Casa Grande Ruins National Monument. This layer was created in a GIS environment using a spatial balanced sample (SBS) tool of the RRQRR algorithm. Plots were located in a random and spatially balanced manner. This layer was loaded onto handheld RECON mapping units for navigation in the field. Each point represents the corner of a 20m x 50m plot. unknown publication date Complete None planned Casa Grande Ruins National Monument and environs -111.539071 -111.445209 33.006297 32.991922 None Vegetation, mapping, National Vegetation Classification System, None Arizona, Casa Grande Ruins National Monument None Standardized National Vegetation Classification System vegetation classification alliance community association Kingdom Plantae None This file can be used to relocate the plots at Casa Grande Ruins NM.
