Book Description
The National Park Service (NPS) Vegetation Inventory Program (VIP) is an effort to classify, describe, and map existing vegetation of national park units as part of generating baseline data products for the NPS Natural Resources Inventory and Monitoring Program. A vegetation map of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Park (LEWI) was developed as part of a cooperative project between the National Park Service (NPS) and the Institute for Natural Resources' Oregon Biodiversity Information Center (ORBIC). The project complemented ongoing species-level inventory at the park which took place during 2009 and 2010.

Book Description
The Natural Resource Publication series addresses natural resource topics that are of interest and applicability to a broad readership in the National Park Service and to others in the management of natural resources, including the scientific community, the public, and the NPS conservation and environmental constituencies. Manuscripts are peer-reviewed to ensure that the information is scientifically credible, technically accurate, appropriately written for the intended audience, and is designed and published in a professional manner.

Book Description
"The Northern Colorado Plateau Inventory and Monitoring Network worked with the support of the U.S. Geological Survgey - National Park Service Vegetation Mapping Program to describe and map vegetation at Golden Spike National Historic Site (GOSP, or NHS). ... Analysis of the classification plot data revealed 18 National Vegetaition Classification (NVC) plant associations or park special vegetation types within GOSP. Several additional plant associations for which map units were developed were not sampled with classification plots, but were instead documented by extensive field notes and photographs" -- p. xiii.

Book Description
Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site (HUTR) covers approximately 65 ha (160 acres) in northeastern Arizona, and lies wholly within the borders of the Navajo Nation. The vegetation found at HUTR consists of approximately 184 species of vascular plants, representing 48 families, in a limited set of communities. This mapping project is part of the National Park Service's National Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) Program, and has been designed to provide core, or “baseline” information that park managers need to effectively manage and protect park resources.

Book Description
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)-National Park Service (NPS) Vegetation Mapping Program and the NPS Southern Plains Network (SOPN) of parks in cooperation with Natural Heritage New Mexico (NHNM, a division of the Museum of Southwestern Biology at the University of New Mexico), and the staff at Pecos National Historical Park (PECO), set out to develop vegetation maps that meet or exceed USGS-NPS standards of 1:24,000-scale and 0.5-ha minimum map unit size (USGS 2010). The maps were based on high-resolution aerial photography along with extensive ground sampling. The project was initiated in 2006 with ensuing field surveys of the vegetation communities through 2011. The vegetation survey data were entered into a database and used to develop a park-wide vegetation classification following the National Vegetation Classification System (FGDC 1997, 2008; Grossman et al. 1998) guidelines.* Then, using the vegetation classification and associated ground control points, vegetation maps were generated at a 1:12,000 scale using a combination of automated image analysis (image segmentation and supervised classifications) and direct image interpretation. Map units were designed to support ecologically based natural resources management with an emphasis on use in fire and wildlife management. The authors provide here the details on how the maps were constructed, an overview of the classification and ecology of the vegetation communities of the monument, the vegetation maps with associated map unit descriptions, plant community descriptions and a diagnostic key, and a vouchered species list. The maps are presented in both paper and digital form as part of a geographic information system (GIS) compatible with that used in the park and national USGSNPS national mapping program. In addition, all field data were compiled into a relational database compatible with USGS-NPS database guidelines, and all data and report elements made ready for web-based applications. Finally, the authors provide an accuracy assessment that reflects both user and producer confidence in the map.

Book Description
This vegetation classification and mapping effort encompasses 167,148 ha(413,031 acres ) within the San Luis Valley, west of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in south central Colorado. The mapping boundary is made up of several management units from a variety of government and private agencies (and a small amount of private property).

Book Description
The Northern Colorado Plateau Inventory and Monitoring Network worked with the support of the U.S. Geological Survey - National Park Service Vegetation Mapping Program to describe and map vegetation at Fossil Butte National Monument (FOBU). This collaborative effort involved many project partners, particularly the FOBU superintendent and natural resources staff, the Rocky Mountain Mapping Center of the U.S. Geological Survey, the Western Region office of NatureServe, engineering-environmental Management, Inc., and their cooperators.

Book Description
The purpose of the vegetation mapping effort at Valley Forge National Historical Park is twofold. First, a vegetation classification is developed to identify the types of vegetation within the park. The second purpose of the vegetation mapping effort is the production of a digital vegetation map.
