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. To produce the spatial database and map layer, year 2006 0.6-meter, 4-band Quickbird satellite imagery was provided by PACN. By comparing the signatures on the imagery to field and ground data 40 map units (23 vegetated, five barren or geologic, and 12 land-use / land-cover) were developed and directly crosswalked or matched to their corresponding rUSNVC plant associations. The interpreted and remotely sensed data were converted to Geographic Information System (GIS) databases and maps were printed, field tested, reviewed, and revised. The final map layer was accessed for thematic accuracy by overlaying 77 independent accuracy assessment points. The final overall accuracy of the map layer was determined to be 86% with a Kappa value of 88%.

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. For PUHE, 31 map units (14 vegetated, five geologic, and 12 land-use/land-cover) were developed . The final list of map classes/units was directly crosswalked to corresponding plant associations and land use classes. PUHE map classes represent a compromise between the detail of the rUSNVC, resource management needs, and the limitations of the imagery. As a result, the mapping legend does not exactly match the rUSNVC. In most cases the rUSNVC and Park Special associations were used as map units. The interpreted and remotely sensed data were converted to Geographic Information System (GIS) databases and maps were printed, field tested, reviewed, and revised. The final map layer was accessed for thematic accuracy by overlaying 57 independent accuracy assessment points. The final overall accuracy of the map layer was determined to be 97% with a Kappa value of 82%

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. 2006 Quickbird Imagery were obtained from the PACN. This imagery was obtained as pan-sharpened, cloud-free, 4-band, 0.6-meter resolution digital ortho-photos that covered the entire island of Hawai‘i. The specific imagery tiles covering the PUHO project area were selected, clipped and mosaiced to provide the basemap for mapping purposes. In addition to the Quickbird imagery, 1-meter, 3-band (true color) 2002 Ikonos imagery was also obtained for PUHO, but due to cloud cover and ensuing changes at PUHO since 2002 this product was only used in an ancillary role.

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. To produce the spatial database and map layer, 2006, 0.6-meter, 4-band Quickbird satellite imagery (supplemented with 2008 Quickbird imagery) was provided by PACN. By comparing the signatures on the imagery to field and ground data 30 map units (18 vegetated, five barren, and seven land-use / land-cover) were developed and directly crosswalked or matched to their corresponding rUSNVC plant associations. The interpreted and remotely sensed data were converted to Geographic Information System (GIS) databases and maps were printed, field tested, reviewed, and revised. The final map layer was accessed for thematic accuracy by overlaying 90 independent accuracy assessment points. The final overall accuracy of the map layer was determined to be 97% with a Kappa value of 82%.

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 FOPU vegetation map provides 251 polygons of detailed attribute data covering 2,543 ha, with an average polygon size of 11.2 ha. Of the area mapped, 177 polygons (70.5% of all polygons) represent natural/semi-natural vegetation types in the NVCS, encompassing 1,834.6 ha (72.1%) of the total map extent.

Current format is ArcGIS file geodatabase but older formats may exist as shapefiles. The draft formation-level map was produced through limited field reconnaissance and visual interpretation of the pan-sharpened imagery and heads-up digitizing in ArcGIS to delineate polygons based on vegetation physiognomy. Spatial accuracy was assessed against 2006 digital orthophoto quarter quadrangle imagery, using 20 test points for each of the park’s three units. The maximum absolute error measured was less than 2 m ground distance, and maximum root mean square error was 1.03 m, well within the limits of the National Map Accuracy Standards.
