Abstract
The scientists in this study were interested in what communities do after a natural disturbance or human-caused tragedy. In particular, they were curious about planting trees, flowers, and other plants as a way to remember the event or the people who were injured or lost. The scientists noticed that people surviving a human-caused tragedy or natural disturbance often planted trees, flowers, or other plants as a way to remember.
