Eastern Threat Center Co-Organizes Special Landscape Ecology Event
Several Eastern Threat Center scientists study land surface phenology – the status and timing of seasonal forest leaf development. When natural resource managers are in tune with phenological patterns, they can identify unusual conditions indicating potential ecosystem disturbance or recovery. Center scientists and partners organized a special session during the US International Association for Landscape Ecology (US-IALE) 2013 annual symposium to exchange information and ideas with other researchers, land managers and students.

The Forest Service Office of Tribal Relations’ newsletter highlights more of her work.
Museum Targets Invasive Species
