DATE ABSTRACT (YYMMDD) Biogeography and systematics Lamberson, J.Q. Devaney, D.M.; Reese, E.S.; Burch, B.L.; Helfrich, P. (eds .) Hawaii Univ. at Manoa, Honolulu (USA) ; USDOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information, 870000 Oak Ridge, TN Enewetak Atoll has evolved over geological time from a raised limestone island environment supporting mangrove swamps and an upland mixed forest to a low coral sand island habitat with typical strand vegetation. The 128 species of plants recorded from the atoll include many introduced weeds and ornamental or food plants, although 43% of the flora is considered to be indigenous to Micronesia. The dry, windy season from November through April causes many of the plants to drop some or all of their leaves or to die back completely. Summer-June through September KEYWORDS - is the season of maximum plant growth and more flower and seed production. The effects of World War II and post-war military activity, the nuclear test program from 1948 to 1958, and the radiological cleanup and rehabilitation for the return of the people of Enewetak have been significant with regard to the vegetation. Many species were accidentally or intentionally introduced to the atoll, and some species have disappeared. The vegetation was greatly altered because of destruction of habitat with removal of soil and nutrients and exposure of the plants to salt spray and drying winds. Several collections and studies of the flora have been reported. This chapt®r describes stages in the succession of the vegetation following disturbance. The vegetation of the islands during the period 1975 to 1977 is also described in some detail.
