🌳🔢 This week, we convened representatives from 17 states & territories & experts to highlight innovative, cutting-edge approaches to quantifying & modeling GHG emissions & sequestration. Learn more ➡️ usclimatealliance.org/events/nwl-lea…

Our paper is out. And it is distressing. Rapid butterfly declines across the United States during the 21st century | Science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

New paper!📢 We found the 3, 30, and 500m phenology data products are generally consistent. More importantly, entropy quantifies the cross-scalar data consistency, which may enable mixed-resolution applications to balance computating and accuracy. authors.elsevier.com/c/1kXO37qzT71fW

Our lab has an opening for a Research Assistant to help conduct an NSF-Funded global change experiment at the Harvard Forest investigating plant responses to warming, eCO2, and drought.

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…

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 @HarvardForest: rdcu.be/dUVT9 @unhresearch @sgrandysoil @SoilBioME

🌍We're thrilled to invite you to this year’s Bullard Lectures, featuring Yadvinder Malhi @ymalhi. Join us with @HUCEnvironment and @HarvardSalata to hear Dr. Malhi on Oct 3 in Cambridge and on Oct. 4, join us at Harvard Forest (or on Zoom!). Register: environment.harvard.edu/bullard-lectur…

@LauraEllenDee @KatharineSuding Congrats Laura!

Tenured! A heartfelt thank you to my mentors/collaborators, esp. @KatharineSuding, Nancy Emery & Peter Reich who have shown me what a dynamic, collaborative, and inclusive place science and academic can be with intention. I strive to live these lessons and am grateful. 1/n

Been fortunate this summer to work with amazing students from @dartmouth & @cscc_edu at @HarvardForest'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

Great opportunity for students or really anyone in the local area!

NEW RESEARCH Hurricanes pose a substantial risk to New England forest carbon stocks 📄 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111… @JosephTumber @jonathanrthomps @HarvardForest @dartmouthartsci @USLTER

🧵 "Hurricanes pose a substantial risk to New England forest carbon stocks" Our new study in @GlobalChangeBio looking at the potential impacts of hurricanes on New England Forest Carbon @HarvardForest @dartmouth @jonathanrthomps dx.doi.org/10.1111/gcb.17…

📢New research in @GlobalChangeBio by @JosephTumber 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. 🍃🌩️🌳

Thu, Apr 11 @ 11am ET, join us for a virtual science seminar by @HarvardForest's Dr. Xiaojie Gao: Monitoring plant seasonality from space. #plantscience #phenology #climatechange Free + open to all. Register: eventbrite.com/e/monitoring-p…

'Beyond the “Illusion of Preservation”' highlights how New England can expand #forest protections & sustainably meet wood product needs. Co-authored by Conservation Science Partners, @uvmvermont, @HarvardForest, @UMassAmherst, & @BrandeisU. ow.ly/IaaB50R4x16 @wwfc_conserve

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

This month we submitted our 7th consecutive 6-yr proposal grant to fund our @USLTER site. It was a huge effort led by @jonathanrthomps @Audrey_BarPlot @lrhutyra @seritafrey with contributions from two dozen co-Is. So of course, today there is cake with conceptual diagram icing.

Andy Reinmann of @GC_CUNY is introducing Harvard Forest's newest @USLTER 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-…

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, @bakerccm!
