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. 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. The classification was developed based on observations during a reconnaissance trip in fall of 1996 by combined teams of aerial photo interpreters and ecologists. This reconnaissance trip clarified both the nature of the classification units and their aerial photo signatures. A minimum mapping unit of 0.5 ha guided decisions about how to treat various units as complexes or mosaics. Based on the reconnaissance trip, the aerial photo team attempted to identify all of the different aerial photo signatures that might correspond to the vegetation types. By the spring of 1997, mapping protocols were sufficiently stabilized to permit the aerial photo team to begin delineating polygons throughout the park. The full set of airphoto overlays for the park were delivered to the field team in mid-July 1997, and they were then used to locate polygons for plot sampling. Once polygon photosignatures were reviewed and updated by the aerial photo interpretation team, an accuracy assessment was conducted. The number of polygons visited per type depended on how common the type was, from 24 polygons for widespread types to 2 for rare types. Points were stratified to be equitably distributed across the island. The target number of polygons to be sampled for each community was split into two groups, one for a team working the northeast half of the park (east team), and one for the team working the southwest half of the park (west team).

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

Orthophotos, raw imagery, and scanned aerial photos are common files held here. Vegetation and land use were interpreted to as detailed a level as possible from high-resolution, 9” x 9” stereo pairs of 1:12,000-scale true color aerial photography. Polygons representing vegetation or land use map classes were delineated on-screen in an ArcView environment. The project used the program standard minimum mapping unit of 0.5 ha with few exceptions
