Rocky Springs   Identified Trees   Fisher's Alpha   Shannon Index   Transect Graph   Dr. Hamilton's Website

On April 10, 2006 date, we visited the Rocky Springs Camping Site of the Natchez Trace Parkway. Twelve transects were taken in all amongst the four groups that were in attendance at N 32° 25.13' W 90° 48.16'. The transects were taken and used to show the diversity of the trees in the area. Fisher's Alpha and the Simpson Index were calculated and can be found above. Also, a Species-to-Transect graph was done to show how long until all species of trees are seemingly accounted for.
