The Forest's Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) program, established in 1988 and funded by the National Science Foundation, provides a framework for much of this activity.Forest Research at Harvard ForestBooseEmerybrowsingforest healthcontinuous forest inventory forest regenerationresearchHurricane Recovery Plots at Harvard Forest since 19371937-01-011991-12-31The New England hurricane of 1938 destroyed many acres of mature and semi-mature forests, thereby initiating new forest associations over a large area. Permanent plots were established across the Harvard Forest in severely damaged stands (many of which were logged subsequent to the hurricane) to assess information about forest succession. Most of the plots involved successions following the blowdown of white pine on glacial till or outwash soils. From 1940 to 1948, and in 1978 and 1991, tree density and the presence or absence of herb and shrub species were tallied. Pioneer species regenerating from seed and advance regeneration of longer-lived species quickly established at the sites.This research study was created to better understand succession of a New England forest after a hurricane.VMC.1387.2840mySQLFoster D, Spurr S. 2009.
