California Park 1992 24 September 1992 "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 by James R. Webb, September 24, 1992.
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 9346.
Description of image: grassy field with mountains covered in pine trees in background.
