Strips of Wyethia Left Because of Being Missed by the 2-4 D Spraying in 1952 Summer 1953 "NW 1/4, NW 1/4, Section 23: T9N, R87W.
Strips of Wyethia Left Because of Being Missed By the 2-4 D Spraying in 1952.
Taken during the summer of 1953.
Grasses have replaced Wyethia in the 1953 photo [9346], and in the 1992 photo [9347] these grasses have become thicker and the vigor is greater.
The interesting vegetative change is the big increase in conifers found within the aspen stands on the ridges in the background of photo #2 [9347]. Conifers are just beginning to show in photo #1 [9346] and have spread out and cover a larger area in photo #2." Compare to photo 9347.
Description of image: a grassy field with three straig lines of a different plant growing among the grass. Mountains in background toward left side of photo.
