TRANSECT INTOOLS

The following are links to sites with information on Ecological Transects. There are interesting educational possibilities in using the images from these sites in an exercise with NIH Image. Also we are interested in hearing from you if you know of links to other transect sites.

• Volcano Succession Mt. St. Helen's - This database has a number of images taken over a period of time of different successional stages in several ecosystems at Mount St. Helen's . The images could be used with NIH Image to quantify the effects of the "environmental gradient" time.
