The feature class was developed from scanned 1:250,000-scale paper source maps. The minimum mapping unit is 400 acres. This is not a feature class to be used in conjunction with large-scale data. This feature class is a two-level hierarchical classification system of actual vegetation designed to assess broad scale resources throughout California (Parker and Matyas 1979). Approximately 125 vegetation series were identified but only 73 series were actually mapped. Each series is defined by the dominant overstory species of the community (e.g., Ponderosa Pine series). Structural information (e.g., tree size or canopy closure) was not mapped. The source mapping was done between 1979 and 1981 by U.S. Forest Service ecologists. The mapping process involved photo-interpretation of 1:250,000-scale color infrared prints of Landsat Multispectral Scanner (MSS) imagery acquired between 1977 and 1979. The average polygon size is 38,000 acres for the entire state (excluding polygons along map edges). Consequently, many important vegetation communities that occur in smaller units are not distinguished. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CDF) created the digital VEG feature class by scanning the source maps.VEG polygons classifies dominant vegetation species for areas of California.

Preliminary non-spatial and spatial error analyses have been conducted by the National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis. In general, high classification error rates (overall agreement 30%) were documented for the data. Overall map accuracy increased to 65% following simplification of the vegetation classification into four formation types: conifer, hardwood, shrub, and herbaceous.VEG is complete.Microsoft Windows
