Objective(s): to describe the differences in seedling drought resistance between jack pine populations from the geographic and environmental extremes of the range.

Project Description: Dr. Wein and his assistant will plant jack pine seedlings in the Reid Lake and Sandy Lake area where the dry conditions simulate a drought. They hope to find a species of jack pine which will survive drought conditions in more southern forests.
