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: Plantation Biodiversity Plots at Harvard Forest since 2007
    • Start Date: 2007-01-01
    • End Date: 2017-12-31
    • Description: A suite of permanent vegetation plots was established throughout tree plantations to assess vegetation structure in plantations and predict future dynamics in harvested and early seral habitats.

    • Purpose: An initial objective of the baseline survey was to characterize current tree regeneration and understory flora that will, in large part, determine the future composition of these forests as the overstory is harvested or senesces.
