dataset_eml_abstractheader

    Since 1907, the Harvard Forest has served as a center for research and education in forest biology and conservation. 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.

    • dataset_eml_datatabledescription: The recent unimpeded infestation of the hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA; Adelgids tsugae) across the Northeastern U.S. is driving large-scale hemlock decline and mortality. HWA has already infested over 40% of the towns in Massachusetts and, as a result, many landowners are considering pre-emptively harvesting their eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) stands. To examine the local impacts of this cutting activity, this study examined stand and ecosystem dynamics in 10 hemlock-dominated sites on public and private lands where hemlocks were harvested between 1 to12 years ago with nearby uncut forests.

    • dataset_eml_datatablepurpose: To observe the local impacts of the cutting of Hemlock trees in the past 1 to 12 years on public and private lands with nearby uncut forests.
