Mary Gage & James Gage, “Challenging the Ives Cairnfield Formation Model” (2021) Read on Acadenia.edu

Abstract: The authors challenge the cairnfield formation model developed by Timothy Ives, Ph.D. and described in his 2015 article “Cairnfields in New England’s Forgotten Pastures.” This challenge paper argues that the key components of the model are not supported by the scientific evidence, in fact they are contradicted by the evidence, that the model is not scientifically valid and it should not be used.
