Oak Savanna Ground Layer Plant Diversity Across the Lower Great Lakes

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: May 05, 2026 at 10:13 PM | Dataset Last Updated: October 04, 2024 at 12:00 AM
This dataset is part of a study to examine the condition of oak savannas in the southern Great Lakes (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin) and to understand how management has contributed to ground layer restoration. If not destroyed, oak savanna have experienced fire suppression, causing decline in these fire dependent systems. Management includes prescribed burning, shrub layer thinning or both. The data presented here represents a summary of the raw data for structural modeling of how these management action influence savanna ground layer restoration.
