Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore implemented an intensive forest inventory utilizing United States Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program protocols. A total of 148 forested plots within Pictured Rocks were established and measured. All overstory, understory, and ground cover vegetation was sampled within 4, 0.1 hectare subplots per plot. Data were analyzed to detect differences in overstory vegetation structure and species composition among federal, state of MI, corporate timberland, and private holdings within Pictured Rocks.
