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 regenerationresearchTree Seedlings in CRUI Land Use Project at Harvard Forest 19961996-01-011996-12-31Forests recovering from agricultural legacies differ in many ways that influence tree seed dispersal and seedling establishment patterns. The number of seedlings (less than 0.5 m tall) of all tree species on a 1 x 1 m resolution across six land use legacy sites (2 plowed, 2 pastured, 2 permanent woodlot) in summer 1996 were recorded to test several predictions about seedling abundance, diversity, and dispersion patterns, and their relationships to forest structure, microclimates, and soil resources.To determine regeneration of a previous agricultural field by monitoring the tree seedling dispersal and patterns of establishment.VMC.1387.2860mySQLSipe T, Bowden R, McClaugherty C. 2009.
