Vegetation Classification and Mapping at Richmond National Battlefield Park, Virginia

The goal of the study was to accurately map and classify at least to the alliance level of the USNVC, the vegetation in Appomattox Court House National Historical Park, Booker T. Washington National Monument, Colonial National Historical Park, Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park, George Washington Birthplace National Monument, Petersburg National Battlefield, and Richmond National Battlefield Park. The classification used to map these parks was developed regionally, using quantitative data that was collected from all seven park units and combined with existing data from throughout the Mid-Atlantic Piedmont and Coastal Plain.
