    • Central Mojave Desert Vegetation Mapping Project, California, 1997-1999: Field Data

    Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

    The Mojave Vegetation field data were collected to provide context for the classification of the Central Mojave Desert into various vegetation classes. The field data consist of five CSV tables, recovered from their original Microsoft Access format, that together describe the vegetative, environmental and geomorphic properties of the Central Mojave Desert at the time of collection, 1997-1999. The portion of the study’s field data preserved in this release consists of observations made at the 1,219 points included in the plots points shapefile (plots_points.shp) found on the Plots Points and Photographs ScienceBase page. The field measurements (described here) and photographs (described in the Plots Points and Photographs metadata record) contributed to the creation of the Mojave Vegetation Polygons classification and the Mojave Special Features classification, two additional pieces of this data release. The metadata record (Mojave-Vegetation-Mapping_Field-Data-Metadata.xml) and tabular field data (5 CSV files, Field_Data.zip) are available as attachments on the Field Data ScienceBase item.
