Vegetation - Modoc Plateau Applegate Areas - 2016 [ds2858]

Under contract to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Aerial Information Systems (AIS) created a fine-scale vegetation map of portions of the Modoc Plateau in northeastern California. AIS subcontracted the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) to conduct classification development work needed for this project, as well as accuracy assessment (AA) field data collection. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s (CDFW) Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program (VegCAMP) provided in-kind service to incorporate contributions by CNPS to create a broader ecoregional classification, and to allocate and score the AA. The primary purpose was an effort toward BLM’s goal of developing fine-scale digital vegetation maps for all the public lands it manages in California.
