Investigation of holocene vegetation and fire history of Acadia National Park, Maine using fine resolution pollen and charcoal analysis (proposal)

Patterson WA and Drake NE. 1989. Investigation of holocene vegetation and fire history of Acadia National Park, Maine using fine resolution pollen and charcoal analysis (proposal). National Park Service

'The main objective of this project is to undertake one of the first long-term, detailed paleoecological reconstructions of Holocene fire and vegetation history in eastern North America by means of fine resolution pollen/charcoal analysis. In so doing, we hope to document fire histories and fire-vegetation interactions for Acadia National Park, an area where the insights drawn from such studies has immediate and practical applications to park management programs.' /STUDY LOCATIONS:/ /MOUNT DESERT ISLAND/
