A Micro-GIS for Site Restoration - The Eagle Cap Wilderness
David R. SpildieDavid N.Cole , Jeffrey A. Comstock
A study was initiated in the Eagle Cap Wilderness of Oregon to assess the effectiveness of alternative campsite restoration techniques. Specific objectives were to assess the influence of (1) adding organic matter, soil inoculum, and compost to soils; (2) transplanting and seeding local, native species; and (3) applying a surface mulch on germination, establishment, and growth of seedlings and transplants. The vegetative attributes of seedlings and transplants on each 1 m2 plot were digitized and analyzed in ArcInfo to determine the effect of the restoration techniques on the vegetation over a two-year period.
