Attention!
The Northern Research Station has realigned our staff from 37 Research Work Units and Programs into 14 new Research Work Units.
RWU-4103 is now part of NRS-10, Biological and Environmental Influences on Forest Health and Productivity.
Our Mission
To evaluate the effects of environmental stress on the physiology and morphology of the northern forest ecosystem, and to make comparisons with neotropical ecosystems, so that managers can better evaluate how global change and human impacts affect tree health and improve ecosystem management tools.
Research
Our Research includes
- Red Spruce Winter Injury
- Calcium Depletion
- Genetics
- Seasonal Red-Leaf Coloration
