Description: Radioecological studies were initiated in the Enterprise Radiation Forest to provide information on the effects of ionizing radiation in the forest ecosystem.  However, due to other priorities this project was abandoned.  This report contains information on the work the radioecological work that was conducted before the project was phased out.
