Abstract:

This is the fourth compilation of annual reports for the Navys ELF Communications System Ecological Monitoring Program. The reports document the progress of ten studies performed during 1985 at the Wisconsin and Michigan Transmitting Facilities. The purpose of the monitoring is to determine whether electromagnetic fields produced by the ELF Communications System will affect resident biota or their ecological relationships. This volume consists of three reports Herbaceous Plant Cover and Tree Studies Litter Decomposition and Microflora and The Effects of Exposing the Slime MOld Physarum polycephalum to Electromagnetic Fields.
