Intern works with USGS to measure species composition

Detailed Description

Chicago Botanic Garden Conservation and Land Management intern Jessica Milkenas works with USGS to measure species composition of recovering shrubs along a perennial transect positioned in an abandoned drill pad. Many recovering pads are colonized by short-lived species such as snakeweed, and the community dominants are difficult to recover on their own
