Analysis of change in vegetative cover and community composition on selected mountain summits at Acadia National Park
Lloyd E. 2000. Analysis of change in vegetative cover and community composition on selected mountain summits at Acadia National Park. National Park Service
This is a very brief report on vegetative changes on the summits of Cadillac, Pemetic, and Sargent mountains. Compared to original survey done by NPS staff in 1992. 'To date, the data does not support the initial hypothesis that vegetative cover and diversity would have declined significantly since 1992. There has been a slight increase in overall plant coverage. Community data is still in the analysis stage and will be completed shortly. Diversity increased very slightly on Caddilac Mountain, but decreased very slightly on Sargent and Pemetic Mountains. The differences were extremely small.' /STUDY LOCATIONS:/ /MOUNT DESERT ISLAND/CADILLAC MOUNTAIN/SARGENT MOUNTAIN/PEMETIC MOUNTAIN/
