Our paper is out. And it is distressing.

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.

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. Please spread the word and apply if interested! https://t.co/jLD49bMurc

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: https://t.co/03JUNxBDmG

🌍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!).

@LauraEllenDee @KatharineSuding Congrats Laura!

[Shersingh Joseph Tumber-Dávila @JosephTumber]

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

[Shersingh Joseph Tumber-Dávila @JosephTumber]

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

📢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. 🍃🌩️🌳

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. 🌲🌳https://t.co/730bCA7uem

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! https://t.co/WkjnnHtrWc

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!
