The photos below are of Old-Field Plot A, a 10-year-rotation plot first started in March 2002. All photos were taken from gridstake G4, looking northwest toward gridstake F3. Photographic details are at Semi-Annual Old-Field Photos.

This photograph was made with a 50mm lens. The later ones were made with a 35mm lens.

In Plot A, the saltbush saplings that were prominant in the foreground of the June 2007 photograph are absent because the scattered saltbush in the northern two-thirds of the plot was cut, whereas the thick stand of saltbush in the southern one-third was left in tact. [This management was approved by NAAC as appropriate for a 40-year plot judged to owe its abundant saltbush to the spoil from the SEEP basin that was spread on it.]
