National Park Service, Fossil Butte National Monument 2002 vector digital data This is a vector polygon file showing the location of historic invasive plant populations at Fossil Butte National Monument. These are areas where invasive plants were presented but have been exterminate. The invasive plant or weed inventory was conducted for the most part with the procedures, classifications and data dictionary outlined by the Inventory and Monitoring Program Northern Colorado Plateau Network. The coordinates for this dataset were collected using a Trimble ProXR or a GeoExplorer III. To inventory the historic invasive plant sites at Fossil Butte National Monument (FOBU) for further monitoring and study. The intended use of all data in the park's GIS library is to support diverse park activities including planning, management, maintenance, research, and interpretation. This 50-million year old lake bed is one of the richest fossil localities in the world. Recorded in limestone are dynamic and complete paleoecosystems that spanned two million years. Preservation is so complete that it allows for detailed study of climate change and its effects on biological communities. Visitors discover that this resource displays the interrelationships of plants, insects, fishes, reptiles and mammals, like few other known fossil sites. The relevance and challenge of study and preservation of this ancient ecosystem are equal to those of a modern ecosystem. The surface topography of Fossil Butte is now covered by a high cold desert. Sagebrush is the dominant vegetation at the lower elevations, while limber pine and aspen occur on the slopes. Pronghorn, Mule deer and a variety of birds are commonly seen. Moose, elk and beaver are sometimes observed. 20020610 20021016 ground condition In work As needed -110.786111 -110.724202 41.897132 41.821342 none gps, global positioning system, invasive plants, weeds, vegetation, exotics none Fossil Butte National Monument, FOBU, National Park Service, NPS, United States, US, USA, North America, Wyoming, Kemmerer, Lincoln County, Hams Fork Valley, Disturbed Sites, Disturbed Areas, Reclaimed Areas, Reclaimed Sites National Park System Unit Code ThesaurusFOBU National Park System Unit Name ThesaurusFossil Butte National Monument none none National Park Service, Intermountain GIS Program Office GIS Coordinator/GIS Specialist Mailing and physical address

This procedure enhances attribute accuracy by reducing attribute related decision-making in the field and minimizing keying errors. Park staff have ground checked and verified all features to the best of their knowledge. GIS personnel verified all features and attributes. All polygon have seen checked and all sliver polygons have been removed. The data only includes features shown to the GPS collection team by a park staff member while on site. Additional features may exist at Fossil Butte National Monument. This dataset only includes locations collected during the 2002 summer season. This is an on going project and additional features will be appended upon collection The data were collected according to an accuracy standard of maintaining a maximum PDOP (Position Dilution of Precision) of 6, while tracking a minimum of 4 SV (satellite vehicles). If the PDOP had to be increased during data collection it will be noted the data set attribute table. These data were differentially corrected and have estimated accuracies in the X and Y direction of 0 to 5 meters, using the above standards while SA (selective availability) is set to zero. No tests were done to confirm this. In Trimble Pathfinder Office software, accuracy is not represented. Instead, precision is an estimation of the positional error (closeness to truth) available as feature attributes. To estimate precisions the software uses: receiver type (for noise), baseline length, Dilution of Precision, covariance and reference variance components. It is a repeatability measure not an accuracy measure. Horizontal Precision for line and area features looks at all the individual points that make up the line/area feature and a mean value is computed by the software.

A maximum Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP) of 6 was maintained for each set while tracking a minimum of 4 satellite vehicles. GPS data 20021016 The GPS processing software was Trimble Pathfinder Office Version 2.8. GPS files were differentially corrected using Trimble Community Base Station data from the Idaho State University - The GIS Center. The corrected GPS files were edited for known deviant and duplicate data. The Pathfinder Office Combine utility was used to merge features collected with identical data dictionaries by different GPS collection teams throughout the 3 day collection period. The combined features were then exported into ESRI ArcView version 3.2 shapefile format. GPS data 20021016 The data was then compared to DRGs and DOQQs.
