USGS-NPS Vegetation Mapping Program Colonial National Historical Park Appendix I. Local and global descriptions of vegetation associations and other vegetation-map classes for Colonial National Historical Park. This appendix contains detailed local descriptions for vegetation associations and other vegetation-map classes present at Colonial National Historical Park based on information collected within the park boundary. Of the 40 map classes used to map Colonial National Historical Park, twenty-six were crosswalked to the finest level of the USNVC (association), seven were described as nonstandard, park-specific classes, and seven were crosswalked to Anderson (Anderson et al. 1976) level II classification. Two map classes are crosswalked to more than one association and all associations are described in this appendix. All map classes crosswalked to the association level of the USNVC also include range-wide descriptions (i.e. global descriptions). Information in the global descriptions of the associations was extracted from the September 27, 2007 version of the NatureServe central databases (NatureServe 2007). A copywrite notice precedes the report. Fields used in the local and global descriptions are defined in Appendix J. Vascular plant species nomenclature within the local and global descriptions follows the nationally standardized list of Kartesz (1999), with very few exceptions. This nomenclature differs from PLANTS 3.5 in only a very few cases, and when this difference occurs, synonymy is indicated parenthetically in the local description information. Nomenclature for nonvascular plants follows Anderson (1990) and Anderson et al. (1990) for mosses, Egan (1987, 1989, 1990, 1991) and Esslinger and Egan (1995) for lichens, and Stotler and Crandall-Stotler (1977) for liverworts/hornworts. English names for associations and alliances use NatureServe Central Ecology-accepted names and may differ slightly from PLANTS 3.5 common names that are used within the local description information and throughout the rest of the report. Sources cited in the local and global vegetation descriptions are included in the literature section at the end of this appendix. Representative photographs of the vegetation types are provided after the descriptions. Photographs were taken by VADNH staff unless otherwise indicated. Each association is crosswalked to the Ecological Group level of the state classification for Virginia (Fleming et. al 2006), which is the level that is currently tracked in the NatureServe databases from which this appendix was created. Ecological Groups contain multiple associations, some rare and some common, so a state rank is not appropriate for this level of classification. The state name (Sname) field within "Subnational Distribution with Crosswalk Data" crosswalks the USNVC association to the Ecological Group level of the Virginia Classification of Ecological Communities and the subnational ranking information is qualified with a * , indicating that the ranking information is not at the association level. State ranks for USNVC associations are managed within the Virginia Division of Natural Heritage and the state/subnational conservation rank (SRank) and global conservation rank (GRank) for all associations are provided in Appendix D. Definitions of the conservation ranks are in Appendix E. Values for the relationship (Rel) and crosswalk confidence (Conf) are defined in Appendix J. The dichotomous key to the Colonial National Historical Park vegetation classes is presented in Appendix K. The key should be used in conjunction with the detailed descriptions. 175
