Lichens as indicators of trace-element air pollution in the environment and environmental controls on plant species richness and composition along an arctic river
Principal Investigator: Gould, William
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: Project 1: Small samples of lichens will be collected from approximately 20 sites located along the Hood River and analyzed for contaminants. Lichens are good indicators of the types of air-borne contaminants that have been carried north to the arctic since they absorb their nutrients from the air. Project 2: The researcher will examine plant communities along the Hood River in order to study th...
