Old-Field Plot B: Summer Photos: 2007-date

For Winter photos of Plot B, click here.

The photos below are of Old-Field Plot B, a plot that is tilled (all or in part) in most (but not all) years. All of Plot B was first tilled in November 2001; all was tilled again in April 2003 and in January 2005. When the old-field nature trail was developed in 2006, it divided Plot B into an eastern portion (in the foreground of the photos) and a larger, western portion (in the middleground of the photos). Starting in November 2006 with the tilling of the east-of-trail portion of Plot B, the two portions were tilled separately as indicated in the notes beside the images. All photos were taken from gridstake G4, looking northeast toward gridstake H3. Photographic details are at Semi-Annual Old-Field Photos.
