Abstract

    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.

    • Title: Long-Term Impacts of the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid on Forest Carbon at Harvard Forest 2008-2011
    • Start Date: 2008-01-01
    • End Date: 2011-01-01
    • Description: This study used a comparative approach to study potential changes in C fluxes and storage and N cycling associated with Hemlock Wooly Adelgid induced hemlock decline and replacement. The stands include primary and secondary growth hemlock forests (230 and 132 years old, respectively), recently disturbed stands (5 and 18 years old) that now have rapidly growing black birch saplings, and a mature black birch stand of age similar to the second-growth hemlock stand.

    • Purpose: This study addressed the question of whether the quantity and distribution of C pools in black birch forests are the same as those found in the hemlock stands they replace and, if so, over what time scales.
