Abstract
Beech bark disease (BBD) has been present in Vermont for the past 60 years leading to significant changes in forest composition and a change in the appearance of American beech (Fagus grandifolia) in our forests. My project measured disease severity and other metrics of beech trees on the historic Siccama research plots along the Burrows trail. Comparing my data to survey data over the last 60 years provides insights into how this forest has changed over time. Additionally, I use spatial data analysis to investigate patterns of disease severity to learn more about how BBD remains in an aftermath forest.
