This report describes the progress made on a research project dealing with the monitoring of vegetation within a recently burned area in Isle Royale National Park (Stanley Ridge). 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 a lightning ignited in 1988 and before it was extinguised by natural causes, 75 acres were burned. Initial vegetation sampling began in 1991 and has been done annually since then.
