“…This crater-lip dam was positioned so as to block the flow of a river, thereby creating a reservoir upstream. (Everett and Amundsen, 1975). In this instance, upstream flooding was minor, and the stream eventually breached the blockage.…”

A study, begun in 1971, continues to document the environmental factors which affect the recovery of damaged tundra landscapes. A measurement technique was developed on Amchitka Island to allow the rapid acquisition of data on species presence and frequency across areas disturbed at various times and in various ways. Samples across all examples of aspect, slope steepness and exposure are taken. Studies now include Adak Island and the Point Barrow area. We have concluded that there was no directional secondary succession on the Aleutian tundra, although there was vigorous recovery on organic soils. Our study led to recommendations which resulted in less intensive reclamation management at a considerable financial saving and without further biological perturbation. Because of the increasing activity on tundra landscapes, for energy extraction, transportation or production; military or other reasons, we have expanded our sampling to other tundra areas where landscape disruption is occurring, or is predicted.
