This report described the progress made on a research project dealing with the monitoring of vegetation within a recently burned area in Isle Royale National Park. The primary objective is to determine what vegetation invades the area following a fire and how this vegetation changes with time after the fire. The fire was lightning-caused and occurred during the summer of 1988 on Stanley Ridge on the northwest end of Isle Royale. Before extinguished by natural causes, the area burned spread over approximately 75 acres. The initial vegetation sampling of this burn occurred during the summer of 1991. The area was again sampled during the summers of 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1998, 1999. This report will discuss the results of the 1998/1999 sampling and will compare these with the result of the sampling in 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, and 1995.
