Identification_Information: Citation: Citation_Information: Originator: National Park Service Originator: Colorado Natural Heritage Program/Colorado State University Publication_Date: 2009 Title: Field Plot and Accuracy Assessment Points for Rocky Mountain National Park Vegetation Mapping Project Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data Online_Linkage: http://biology.usgs.gov/npsveg/ftp/vegmapping/romo/romogeodata.zip Description: Abstract: Accuracy Assessment, Observation and Plot Points Purpose: To assist with the development of vegetation maps for the National Park Service. Plots were collected to characterize actual vegetation, while accuracy assessment plots were visited to verify the mapper's interpretation of the vegetation communities. Supplemental_Information: Data were reformatted to match Plots V3.0 by the Colorado Natural Heritage Program/Colorado State University.
