Forest Connectivity in Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Derived from 2018 NAIP Aerial Imagery
Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore (PIRO) in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan is home to many wildlife species that depend on forest canopy connectivity to thrive. Park biologists are interested to learn how forest loss in the late 2000s and early 2010s caused by beech bark disease (BBD) is affecting these wildlife species. Biologists need to know where forest canopy gaps exist and identify where the greatest canopy connectivity loss has occurred prior to research observing and collecting data on wildlife species. This dataset will show biologists forest connectivity in present time (2018) as derived using object-based image analysis and National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) imagery acquired in 2018.
