USGS-NPS Vegetation Mapping Program Colonial National Historical Park Appendix D. Distribution of vegetation classes, derived from the analysis of regional quantitative plot data, across seven national parks in Virginia. Vegetation was classified and mapped in seven national park units in Virginia: Appomattox Court House National Historical Park (APCO), Booker T. Washington National Monument (BOWA), Colonial National Historical Park (COLO), Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park (FRSP), George Washington Birthplace National Monument (GEWA), Petersburg National Battlefield (PETE), and Richmond National Battlefield Park (RICH). The classification used to map these parks was developed regionally, using quantitative data that were collected from all seven parks and combined with existing data from throughout the Mid-Atlantic Piedmont and Coastal Plain. Quantitative analysis classified 35 associations occurring in the seven parks. An additional 19 associations and 12 nonstandard, park-specific vegetation classes representing disturbed, cultural, or exotic vegetation were also recognized from the seven parks, but were not represented by quantitative data. The relationship of all vegetation classes to the map classes used to map Colonial National Historical Park can be found in Table 11 of the main report. Vegetation classes listed with USNVC codes are equivalent to associations in the United States National Vegetation Classification (NatureServe 2007). Global and State conservation ranks are defined in Appendix E. 108
