Vegetation Inventory, Classification, and Mapping - Sample Design and Mapping Data: Minidoka National Wildlife Refuge

Spatial vegetation/habitat database produced for Minidoka National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). Classifications at the level of NVCS Groups and Alliances. This geodatabase also includes all field data: points associated with a parallel Ecological Integrity Assessment, training points, validation points, and accuracy assessment points.

This reference includes information about samples collected and a survey conducted by and lead by refuge staff over the course of two years following the initial EIA. Those samples were used to build a vegetation layer for the entire refuge. That work was completed in 2017. Geodatabases include data used for sample design including polygonal habitat classes for stratification, segmentation results used for sampling, management units and study area (AOI). Domain tables and hardcopy field data collection forms for the project are included.
