Great to have this paper out today, which lays the groundwork for many other applications of using LiDAR to measure insect-induced phenotypes. Thanks for the great summary here, Chris Baker!
Andy Reinmann of The Graduate Center is introducing Harvard Forest's newest US LTER experiment, CLIFF: the Climate Interactions with Forest Fragmentation Experiment. Why? In the northeast US, 25% of our forests are within 100 ft of an edge #HFsymp24 Join us online! harvardforest.fas.harvard.edu/news/register-…
This month we submitted our 7th consecutive 6-yr proposal grant to fund our US LTER site. It was a huge effort led by Jonathan Thompson Audrey BP @lrhutyra seritafrey with contributions from two dozen co-Is. So of course, today there is cake with conceptual diagram icing.
Do you know someone who *loves* trees & wants to spend the summer working outside? 🌳+✏️+📒=😄 (+ 💵) Harvard Forest is seeking summer field technicians to re-census (measure, map, & record) trees in our 85-acre megaplot! 🌱Applicants must enjoy trees. 🌲🌳harvardforest.fas.harvard.edu/employment

🧵 "Hurricanes pose a substantial risk to New England forest carbon stocks" Our new study in Global Change Biology looking at the potential impacts of hurricanes on New England Forest Carbon Harvard Forest Dartmouth 🌲 Jonathan Thompson dx.doi.org/10.1111/gcb.17…
📢New research in Global Change Biology by Shersingh Joseph Tumber-Dávila and colleagues provides significant insight into how forest carbon capture & storage are estimated in New England, especially as policymakers consider nature-based solutions like carbon offsets. 🍃🌩️🌳

Been fortunate this summer to work with amazing students from Dartmouth 🌲 & Columbus State at Harvard Forest's forest edge drought project to look at the impacts that harvesting and drought has on the forest, with a focus on roots, rhizosphere processes, and microbial carbon
🌍We're thrilled to invite you to this year’s Bullard Lectures, featuring Yadvinder Malhi Yadvinder Malhi.

So pleased to share this paper that is now out in Nature Ecology & Evolution synthesizing 16 years of data from our Soil Warming x Nitrogen Addition study Harvard Forest: rdcu.be/dUVT9 UNH Research Stuart Grandy SoilBioME
Herbivory is a huge factor dictating plant communities and ecosystem processes, and plant C/nutrient dynamics drive these herbivory patterns. Check out how ectomycorrhizal fungi will mediate herbivory in a high-CO2, nutrient-limited world: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…
