Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1989 1988 1987

Project Team: two student research assistants

Objective(s): To determine the changes that have occurred in the oil spill, fire, and vehicular disturbance research plots over the last 20 years.

Project Description: In the early 1970's, several test plots were established to see what happens when the plants and soil are disturbed or removed by fire, oil spills, and vehicles. Dr. Wein and two students will be re-visiting these sites to document how the plants have recovered since that time.
