• Abstract:
  • NSF Grant Proposal transferred from Columbia University to Harvard University (Harvard Forest).
  • The major goals of PalEON are to collate existing and collect new historical and paleoecological data from Northeastern and Midwestern states and from the central boreal forest of Alaska; to develop and apply statistical models that make inference from these data with uncertainty about changing terrestrial ecosystems over the last 2000 years; and to integrate this statistical inference into models of ecosystem change. Our ultimate goal is to assimilate inference from long-term data into models, so that the slow processes influencing projections of ecosystem change are constrained by data.
