Planted prairie strips are safe for native pollinators
Strips of native prairie planted within agricultural monocrops are not an “ecological trap” for native pollinators, but also do not reduce the runoff of insecticides that may pose a threat.

Now accepting applications for the 2024 cohort of LTER Graduate Writing Fellows.
An experiment at treeline, one on the tundra, one in the Kuparuk. Each has provided researchers with valuable truths about how each Arctic system responds to change.
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.
