Abstract:
VMap is a multi-level, existing vegetation geospatial database used to produce four primary map products; lifeform, tree canopy cover class, tree diameter, and tree dominance type. Additional add-ons to the database are included for Eastside forests to address non-forest map classes (e.g., grassland and shrubland vegetation communities).
Purpose:
This dataset was produced for use at project levels of analysis and planning (in some cases additional work would be needed for site specific or project level work.
