Using FIA Data to Predict Forest Understory Vegetation Structure

From the Rocky Mountain Research Station:

Understory vegetation is a significant component of terrestrial carbon stocks and play an important role in determining fuel loading and wildlife habitat. Given the paucity of regional to national-scale studies aimed at describing relationships between overstory and understory vegetation attributes and an increasing need to understand ecosystems, it is critical to evaluate the ability of such national datasets to reveal these relationships.
