Fire Ecology photo 15: Sediment Coring

description

Summary

Sediment Coring to Study Fire History: A research team from Northern Arizona University led by Dr. Scott Anderson has used sediment cores from two locations in the Seashore to study fire history and vegetation changes at Point Reyes. Charcoal particles within the cores indicate that fire was more frequent in the past. The pollen in the cores, which are currently being studied, will reveal patterns in the vegetation over time.
