Abstract:

Dr. Frank McCormick studies the effect of radiation on the environment. Dr. McCormick, a botany professor from University of North Carolina, works under NASA supervision to research the affects that radiation might have on our environment. This study learned that moderate doses of radiation can kill pine trees but leave oak trees alive. Dr. McCormick has determined that tropical forests are more resistant to radiation than temperate forests.
