Old field succession site (a & b) - This site was
last plowed in 1968. It is divided into a flat area (b) and a
south-facing sloped area (a) that produces a warmer, drier (xeric)
microclimate than on the flat area. As a result, succession on the
slope has been slower than in the flat area as evidenced by the more
trees and shrubs observed in area b in 2006. More
comparisons of
succession can be seen in ground
photographs.
