Shaped by fire: the Bonanza Creek LTER
Bonanza Creek was quick to remind me of its true nature: everything about its ecology follows the flame.

A new paper from the Minneapolis-St. Paul LTER shows that properties that had a racial covenant have better access to environmental benefits than those without.
Scientists at the Arctic LTER find that different points along a gradient of soil fertility aid ectomycorrhizal and ericaceous tundra shrubs. Their findings hint at the potential for those two types of shrubs to co-expand over the Arctic—a previously unconsidered scenario that could have vast implications for the future of the northern tundra
Grassland birds, by changing their nest characteristics and breeding patterns, are more resilient to drought than previously thought.
Atlantic marsh fiddler crabs facilitate the aboveground growth of a foundational saltmarsh grass, but this positive interaction becomes negative as crabs migrate north.
researchers at the Palmer Antarctic LTER show that the Adelie penguin population has suffered as a result of climate change induced krill shortages.
As ecological trends change with a changing climate, the Hubbard Brook Online Book will continue to reflect the most current understanding of the forest ecosystem whenever it is read.
Sea level rise is eroding Virginia’s barrier islands, potentially flipping carbon rich coastal ecosystems from sinks to sources.
How the Andrews Forest and Moorea Coral Reef LTER sites respond to disturbance highlights the struggle and opportunity that come with an irreparably altered ecosystem.
A six-year pilot study on Santa Monica Beach shows how seeding of native flora can restore habitats for threatened species and protect against climate change-driven sea level rise.
