DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2017.04.021
Abstract: Abstract We use conditions defining growing space (e.g., sum of all relevant biotic and abiotic factors) to systematically associate forested stands with likely native plant community (NPC) classifications. We develop and test imputation methodology to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2017.04.043
Abstract: Abstract Native plant community (NPC) classifications typically require on-site visits and in-depth observations by trained ecologists. The goal is to identify unique floristic and environmental characteristics indicative of a particular plant community, ecosystem, or demographic… read more here.
