Comiskey JA and Wakamiya SM. 2011. Mid-Atlantic Network forest vegetation monitoring: 2007 to 2010. Natural Resource Technical Report. NPS/MIDN/NRTR—2011/471. National Park Service, Natural Resource Stewardship and Science. Fort Collins, Colorado
This report presents a summary of forest vegetation data collected between 2007 and 2010 in 11 parks of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast Coastal and Barrier Networks. The overarching goal of the vegetation monitoring program is to provide a framework for monitoring long-term change over broad spatial scales of the forests in the parks. Inferences are made on a park basis and include analyses and summary statistics on forest structure and composition of canopy and understory woody species; density and composition of tree seedlings and selected herbaceous species that are indicators of deer browse; invasive exotic plants, exotic plant diseases and pathogens, and forest pests; forest coarse woody debris and snags; and CA:Al and C:N ratios.
