Study
Status:
Completed
Activity Type:
Inventory
Subject/Discipline:
Ecology (Aquatic, Marine, Terrestrial)
Objectives:
Study the ecology of the Pumice Desert to
learn more about the lack of succession.
Findings and Status:
Preliminary findings from the vegetation
plots examined during the summer of 1995
indicate fewer plant numbers; this is
probably due more to the recent years of
drought in the Northwest than any indication
of successional stages. Comparison of photo
points (1965, 1995) whowed that many of the
trees in the 1965 photos had died; causes
were not determined.
For
this study, were one or more specimens collected and
removed from the park but not destroyed during
analyses?
