Data were projected to UTM, NAD83, zone 18, meters. To provide an up-to-date digital geospatial vegetation database containing baseline information about the park's vegetation associations to the park's resource managers in order to ensure effective, long-term management of the natural resources held in trust. The shapefile was imported into a geodatabase by the USGS/CSS/Core Science Analytics and Synthesis. 20030428 20050711 Ground condition (photo dates) Complete As needed Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park -72.554736 -72.516300 43.643635 43.625001 None vegetation classification Standardized National Vegetation Classification SNVCS NVCS alliance community association vegetation map National Park Service Theme Category Thesaurus Vegetation ISO 19115 Topic Category biota National Park System Unit Name Thesaurus Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park National Park System Unit Code Thesaurus MABI None Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park MABI Vermont VT None Standardized National Vegetation Classification System vegetation classification alliance community association Kingdom Plantae None None.

Transfer of polygons from photo to GIS coverage using orthorectified photo layer and on-screen digitizing. Photo-interpretation allowed delineation of major forest types and ground survey information was needed to produce polygons that corresponded to 2005 USNVC associations. Covers all lands within the boundaries shown in project boundary coverage provided by MABI/NPS, as well as USNVC types contiguous outside boundary. Linear features are spatially + or - 3 m of the corresponding location on the ortho imagery.

Polygons were digitized on-screen using base layers of 1:8000 CIR aerial photography, orthorectified photo composite image, and ground information. Auxiliary data sources were two earlier vegetation maps, neither of which was comprehensive. 20051229 Polygon topology was adjusted to remove slivers and gaps in the vegetation map relative to the 2002 park boundary. 20101116 Adam Kozlowski National Park Service, Northeast Region, Northeast Temperate Network Network Data Manager mailing and physical
