Summary
Abstract:
The National Park Service (NPS), in conjunction with the Biological Resources
Division (BRD) of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), has implemented a program to "develop a uniform hierarchical vegetation methodology" at a national level. The program will also create a geographic information system (GIS) database for the parks under its management. The purpose of the data is to document the state of ...

Quality
These data have a combined total accuracy of 80.0%. Individual class
accuracies range from 22% to 90% in both errors of commission and omission. All data that can be photointerpreted is also digitized. This includes alliance/association classes, surface water, and unvegetated/landuse. Also all data that can be photo-interpreted is also digitized. This includes features that fall into the NVCS vegetation classification and the Anderson Level II classification. Minimum mapping unit is obstensibly .5 hectares but some low frequency classes below the MMU are included.
