This reference contains the imagery data used in the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit. Orthophotos, raw imagery, and scanned aerial photos are common files held here. Features were interpreted by using high-quality stereoscopes over light tables and 1:12,000-scale, color-infrared aerial photographs dated October 2004 (during fall leaf change). Polygon units were mapped mostly to a 0.5-ha minimum mapping unit. An ancillary set of 1:24,000-scale, true-color aerial photos dated April 2005 (during leaf-off conditions) covering the entire APIS lands were used for additional reference during mapping. The interpreted data were digitally and spatially referenced, making the spatial database layers usable in a geographic information system.

This reference contains the imagery data used in the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit. Orthophotos, raw imagery, and scanned aerial photos are common files held here. Aerial photography was flown and processed by Photo Science Inc., of Gaithersburg, Maryland. In April 1993, stereo color-infrared aerial photos were collected in five flight lines, producing 215 9x9” diapositives. An additional inland series of 32 photos was also flown on the western shore of Sinepuxent Bay across from the park, but these were not used in this project. The original diapositive film is archived at the USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center.

This reference contains the imagery data used in the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit. Orthophotos, raw imagery, and scanned aerial photos are common files held here. A total of 43 map classes were developed to map the vegetation and general land cover of Cumberland Island National Seashore and surroundings, including the following: 32 map classes representing natural/semi-natural vegetation at the association level in the National Vegetation Classification System (NVCS), 1 map class representing cultural vegetation (e.g., developed) in the NVCS, and 10 map classes representing non-vegetated units (e.g., open water bodies, buildings, roads). Features were interpreted using 1:12,000 scale digital color-infrared aerial photography (flown 01 May 2011) through heads-up-digitizing in ArcGIS (Version 10.0, © 2010 Environmental Systems Research Institute, Redlands, California). Polygons were mapped to a 0.5-hectare minimum mapping unit (MMU).

This reference contains the imagery data used in the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit. Orthophotos, raw imagery, and scanned aerial photos are common files held here. Color infrared (CIR) aerial photographs of the park at 1:12,000 scale were acquired by Aero-Metric, Inc. on May 11–12, 2012. These photos were scanned and converted to digital orthophotographs at 0.3-meter (1-ft) resolution before they were delivered to the National Park Service. Digital orthophotographs and hardcopy photographs in both film transparency and paper print formats were provided to the University of Georgia Center for Geospatial Research. A total of 165 photos in five flight lines were required to cover Canaveral National Seashore

The files linked to this reference are the geospatial data created as part of the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit. Current format is ArcGIS file geodatabase but older formats may exist as shapefiles. A geodatabase containing various feature class layers and tables show the locations of vegetation types and general land cover (vegetation map), vegetation plot samples, AA sites, project boundary extent, and aerial photographic centers. The feature class layer for the APIS vegetation map provides 4,862 polygons of detailed attribute data covering 28,971.9 ha, with an average polygon size of 6.0 ha. Of the area mapped, 4,732 polygons (97.4%) represent natural/semi-natural types in the NVCS, encompassing 17,600.9 ha (60.8%) of the total map extent.
