Northern Research Station
August Feature - In the Shade
In August, the Northern Research Station’s web features take you into the shade to meet an ecologist interested in understory plants; research exploring how to curb (or not curb at all) an invasive understory plant that shades out oak seedlings; a product that serves as a how-to and why-to for tracking urban tree mortality; and a partnership that is working to make shade work for people and overwintering Neotropical birds in Latin America.
