Students in the Forest Ecosystem Science program are drawn to natural and managed forest environments with a blend of curiosity and sense of responsibility. They seek both to understand forest ...

We estimate carbon exchange of a forest ecosystem directly by micrometeorological methods (eddy covariance) and upscaling enclosure observations of CO2 exchange at shoot and forest floor level over ...

The scientists explain that it was necessary to study multiple elements of the ancient ecosystem to piece together the frozen forest's complete story. Members of the team, including MSU graduate ...
