POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF A BOG SAMPLE FROM WILLIAMS PRAIRIE, OREGON

Summary

Single pollen and macrofloral samples were collected from Bog 2 for analysis to identify

plants growing in this area. William's Prairie is a meadow complex on the upper Crooked River

drainage approximately 320 acres in size. Years of overgrazing and nearby logging activities have

affected the local vegetation. The decline of hard woods, degradation of beaver habitat, and

reduction of water table are most notable. Formerly, William's Prairie was a wet meadow with two

main channels running in a northerly direction. Pollen and macrofloral analysis were undertaken

to identify previous vegetation in this area.
