PURPOSE
The Eckbo report, the initial study of the campus waterfrorl.by
specialists, contained recommendations for further studies to be under-
taken bofore determining how to develop the school's shoreline^ Contained
within the "Plant Ecology" section by A.1 vJiedemenn were suggestions for
necessary terrestrial studies, beginning with "(1) Description of the
vegetation to include a fleristic listing, and the delineation and compo-
sition of the vegetatlor.al types or groupings." The data thus obtained
would be utilized in further investigations, some of which V'iederuann
described in the Eckbo report as: "(,4) The identification of areas of
major botannical and ecological interest (such as the occurence of parti-
cular species or the presence of unique habitats); (£) Propose the loca-
tion of walking trails for both recreational and instructional use;
(7) Indicate areas which may be of importance fron a research point of
view; (G) Assess the possible consequences to the present vegetatit-n
of such activities as trail construction activity, limited undergrowth
removal, extensive undergrowth removal, the effect of use by large num-
bers of people, especially where the undergrowth has been removed*n
The gathering of the information included within our report is the
first step of this continuing study of the vegetation of the Evergreen
waterfront* It is a general catalog and characterisation of the plant
life growing in that area in the spring of 1*572. Primarily a classification
of the forest types, it also includes a plot-by-plot listing of the under-
story vegetation. The plot, sheets (raw data) are not contained within
but are available fron Al Wiederaann.
Because the campus waterfront has been well surveyedf it was
used as the baseline from which to run the transects; surveyor's
hubs are placed in one hundred foot intervals along the approximate
hiqh tide line. One transect runs inland from each hub G through
oFF, inclusive, at an angle of 126 magnetic. The uplands boundary
was determined by a distinct vegetational transition - the alder-
break - on the southeasts and on both sides by stream courses.
Plots were spaced one hundred fifty feet apart. As the measurements
- between plots follow the contours -- up and down gulleys, over rails,
etc. — the one hundred fifty foot measurement is not necessarily
linear but reflects the topography of the land.. It is impossible
at this time to accurately map the transect -^nd plot locations as
no well defined topographic map exists. All measurements were taken
in feet: and inches.
The sampling technique used was the Point Quarter method,
area around each point defined every one hundred firry feet was
divided into four parts or quadrants by setting up lines running
north-south and east-west (magnetic) using a compass, stakes and
cord. The tree nearest the point in each quadrant v/as located.
(To be considered a tree and not a seedling, the .plant had to be
at least, three inches in diaineier«. } The species, diaaeter at chest
height (4.5 feet) and point-to-plant distance was recorded for each
—4—™e northeast quadrant „.
