• Abstract:
  • How is the past manifested in the present? To answer this question a project was undertaken to determine the history of two small areas of Tom Swamp Tract VI, located directly east of Harvard Pond. This report will detail the recorded changes to the areas in question and discuss the present condition of these spots, and interpret their history. A cause and effect relationship is at work, and thus every stand is the result of its own unique history.
