)} ABSTRACT (Continue am reverse side if necessary and identify by block number) 
A vegetative study of the U.S. Army Coastal Engineering Research Center's 
Field Research Facility at Duck, North Carolina, was undertaken from May to 
December 1981 to determine and document natural or manmade changes which 
occurred since Levy's (1976) original study. For four seasonal sampling 
periods (May, July, September, November), his procedures were replicated and 
his permanent quadrats reestablished and mapped. A vegetation map of the 
area was prepared using aerial infrared photos and ground-truth surveys.
