Description:

Abstract:

This data set contains mapped White Oak and Ponderosa Pine stands within the Willamette Valley of Oregon. The data was created utilizing and field data collection and LANDSAT image interpretation. Field mapping, from May 2000 to October 2006, was used to classify areas accessible and/or visible from public roads. The coverage incorporates the selected strata classifications for vegetation type, structural conditions, size, and canopy. When overlaid onto current NAIP photography, the spatial resolution of the polygons shows deficiencies due to the low reolusiton of LANDSAT based imagery used at the time when this data set was created.

Purpose:

This data was created by the Northwest Habitat Institute for the BLM, USDA Forest Service, and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation Willamette Valley Oak Conservation Project.

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

The data gathered in this file represent those areas of the Willamette Valley, Oregon that were mapped in the earliest phase of the porject dating back to 2000. During this early pahse, oak and pine polygons were identified in the field using vehicular survey techniques in conjunctions with hardcopy LANdSAT composite images. Each polygon contains informational classes about sepcies composition, size class, structural condition and canopy categories.

Because these data were compiled and digitized using LANDSAT imagery with a pixel size of 30 meters, the positional accuracy of the polygons is less than that acheived in later phases of the oak and pine survey of the Willamette Valley. When these polygons are overlaid onto current NAIP imagery sources, it becomes apparent that the digitizing of the polygons could be further refined to reflect the enhanced resolution of the imagery.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

All polygons are closed and attributed. Topology built. Each polygon has a unique user-id. Island polygons have attribute values of zero.

Completeness_Report:

43 USGS quads are fully completed spanning from just south of Portland to south of Eugene. There is potential to map oak in approxiamately 16 more quads around the Portland metro area to technically complete the valley.

Source_Contribution:

Used as base map for project. All polygons were digitized on-screen using ArcPad 7.0 on a Trimble GeoXT with orthophotos (combined with 1998 Landsat TM data) displayed in background. These quadrangles aerial phots were from various, unknown years and field research indicated that significant land cover changes had occurred since the orthophotos were created.

Source_Contribution:

Two Landsat scenes were mosaiced and then combined with the USGS digital orthophotographs to use as a base. The Landsat TM data was added to help identify oak and pine stands on the orthophotographs since many of the orthophotoquads appeared to be out of date.
