How Do Forests Fill In The Gap? Trajectories Of Forest Recovery After Disturbance :: Summer Series at Yale Myers Forest
7:00pm - 9:00pm
Jul 09, 2009
Yale Myers Forest
150 Center Pike

As always, 7 pm for Refreshments, 7:30 for the Talk

Join Brent Frey, doctoral student, as he examines the impacts of canopy gap disturbance on tree regeneration and maintenance of species diversity.  Brent is particularly interested in how topographic variation and ground disturbance can drive divergent patterns in forest regeneration in gaps, and draws on long-term datasets from experimental gaps and tree seedling recruitment studies in Yale-Myers, Great Mountain Forest, and the tropics.
