Final QI trip of the Fall

Just returned from Santa Rosa Island for the last time this semester with the weekend proving to be productive and eye-opening in a variety of ways! We completed 6 more transects in Quemada- five along the banks and one within the riparian zone. We also took GPS points of all Willow Trees (an indicator species) within the creek. We counted 38 trees in total and will get working on a map to analyze trends in their location.
