Abstract:

The major research questions are: (1) In relation to a systematic survey conducted in the 1970s, determine whether the same suite of species can be found, and (2) whether trends in elemental deposition patterns are evident both spatially and, to a limited degree, temporally (mid-1970s compared to 1998) based on an analysis of populations.
