GLKN Terrestrial Vegetation Monitoring
Sanders S and Kirschbaum J . GLKN Terrestrial Vegetation Monitoring. 2008. National Park Service
Forests are the dominant vegetation type in the Great Lakes Network national parks, so this protocol focuses on forested communities. Because of the strong ties between forest and ecosystem health, this also helps us understand the impacts of forest pests and pathogens, white-tailed deer, and changes in patterns of natural disturbance, such as more intense wind storms or fire suppression.
