Summary

Habitat degradation, invasive species, and climate change are just a few of the threats to the natural world that supports our existence. Large-scale loss of biodiverse forest is easily measured from aerial images but we know a lot less about finer scale changes to forest health over time. The Woodland Preserve in the QEII Botanic Park is an ideal site to base permanent survey plots to allow for long-term comparative assessment of the native vegetation in the Cayman Islands.
