- Abstract:
- This study's main goal was to investigate the effects of brushfire on succession in a temperate forest by determining the history of a site following a brushfire and by comparing the rates of growth of different species in such an environment.
- The study area is in the northwest corner of the Prospect Hill tract and was choses because it was burned in 1957 by an intense brush fire.
