This past week Kristen presented research on vegetation and groundwater changes 15 years post restoration in Drakesbad Meadow, Lassen National Park at the Society for Wetland Scientists and Society for Ecological Restoration joint regional conference. This research is a collaboration with Derek Schook (National Park Service and Colorado State), Jessica Shippen (BS Environmental Science, Applied Ecology Chico State) and David Cooper (Colorado State). Groundwater levels increased and stayed higher, even during the drought, which has resulted in increases in cover of obligate wetland species. |
