Vascular Flora of the Harvard Farm at Harvard Forest since 2014

The objectives of this study were to: (1) Inventory the vascular flora of the
former Petersham Country Club (now the Harvard Farm). (2) Collect voucher
specimens for the HF Herbarium of species that were not previously documented
from Harvard Forest, or that were found historically at HF but were not recorded
in 2004–2007 by Jenkins et al. (2008). (3) Establish and sample a series of
permanent plots to characterize current vegetation composition, and to enable
evaluation of vegetation change over time. (4) Sample soils within permanent
plots to document initial conditions and to facilitate future work on soil
dynamics and ecosystem processes.
