Enriched Background Isotope Study (EBIS)

Photographs of Experimental Plots


Photo 1.  Permanent plots (7 x 7 m) on Walker Branch prepared with landscape cloth to allow for the removal of current year forest canopy litter.   Know quantities of either enriched or near background litter will be added to these plots in place of the in situ litter in January of 2001, 2002, and 2003.  (Photo taken October 2000).
