- Abstract:
- The ecological memory of forested ecosystems to extreme climatic events is not adequately captured by theories of disturbance and vegetation models; the common scales of ecological research are spatially too small and temporally too short to capture long-term forest development. Research that simultaneously studies ecosystems over a range of spatial and time scales improves theory. Our primary goal is to address the potential impacts of synchronous disturbance by studying the ecological memory of, climatically-induced disturbances and impacts on ecosystem structure and processes (carbon, nutrient, and water cycling) across spatiotemporal scales using observations and modeling.....
