Figure 1. Distribution of permanent plots on north Parramore Island
showing range of vegetation zones covered. Plots have been overlain onto
a 2 m. resolution false color image. (note: plot radii not to scale.)
Figure 2. Example of post-survey plot location adjustment. Blue
lines represent preselected plot location and boundary, green are same
after adjustment. Astericks represent surveyed stem locations, with larger
stems surrounded by a circle. The location was shifted approximately 8 m.
northeast for a better fit between canopy clusters (bright areas of image)
and gaps (shadow areas) with surveyed locations. That such a shift was
needed had been noted in the field.

Figure 5. Example of principlal component mapping. Red cedar,
loblolly pine, Celtis, and Baccharis were positively
correlated with component 3; red bay was negatively correlated. Plots with
strongest correlation scores shown in red.
