Nevada Vegetation Training Site Database
Click to download the Nevada Vegetation Training DatabaseThis database contains all of the training sites used to generate the land cover maps and the randomly selected sub-set of sites used in the accuracy assessment. Each training site is associated with an ocular estimate of vegetation cover information and its ecological setting on the landscape, and a polygon in the corresponding training site shapefile via a unique ID (e.g. NV062403JS06). Please refer to the Nevada Field Training Manual for more detailed descriptions of the data collected at each site.

Map Class Descriptions for C. Homer's 1991-92 Nevada GAP map
Click to download 1991-92 Nevada GAP Map Class DescriptionsCover-Type categories are listed by principal species that define the cover-type. Landscape scale cover-type mapping includes many prevalent primary associated species which can substantially occur as part of the cover-type in localized areas. This is not intended to be a complete species list, but rather an overview of the most common species associated with each cover-type. General descriptions of each cover-type and a brief distribution of the cover-type are included.
