Voyageurs National Park, Fields Plot Data Database for Vegetation Mapping Project

A total of 191 vegetation field plot samples were collected at Voyageurs National Park and environs to support vegetation classification development. Teams of ecologists and botanists collected vegetation field data during the 1996 through 1998 field seasons. This data was used in an analysis to determine and describe the USNVC associations that existed within the project area. This metadata report is for 2 database sets containing the physical descriptions and species listing of the vegetation field plot data. The first is a dBASE IV spreadsheet of the complete field data of the vegetation field plot physical. The second data set contains the Species Listing of the Vegetation Field Plot data. The non-spatial data is complete as a dBASE spreadsheet file, which was exported from the PLOTS database.
