Long-term litterfall mass data from Harvard Forest was used in conjunction with data from the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) and a global litterfall dataset to draw conclusions on patterns of litter inputs in temperate deciduous forests, which have implications for carbon and nutrient cycling.
Research from Dr. Robyn Zerebecki and collaborators demonstrates that intraspecific variation can have ecosystem-level consequences.
An LTER cross site synthesis effort reveals that soil carbon availability determines nitrogen mineralization and nitrification rates across a wide diversity of terrestrial ecosystems.
Join us to meet agency ecologists from around the nation and learn about their career paths, day in the life, and more.
LoRa is a digital radio technology designed for Internet of Things (IOT) applications. Here’s a tech test by John Porter.
Novel analyses of a 31-year dataset on invading ladybeetles shows that small differences in habitat preference across years allow for two similar invading species to coexist while native species decline.
Considerable work happens behind the scenes as Sarah Garlick, Hubbard Brook’s Director of Science Engagement, brings together researchers and forest managers to identify shared research priorities in New Hampshire’s White Mountain National Forest.
Since its introduction in 2009, the swamp eel has nearly eliminated several populations of small aquatic species in the Everglades watershed. The new invasive may be more disruptive to the Everglades than the park’s flagship invasive, the Burmese Python, and brings a new challenge to Everglades management and restoration.
Science Council FrameworkMay 10-12, 2023, Kellogg Biological StationTheme: Spatial Scaling Travel and lodging information will be distributed to invited participants. Recorded lightning talks will be available after the meeting. Much of the work that Long Term Ecological Research sites pursue addresses ecological mechanisms and is focused on a relatively local spatial scale. But for our… Read more »
