Check out our new paper showing how invasive earthworms erode multiple biodiversity facets of northern temperate forests, expertly lead by Thouvenot Lise #OpenAccess iScience journal 10.1016/j.isci.2024.109036

As of today, this has been the mildest winter on record for Cleveland, per MRCC data

Parking is often a concern for new development, but we wanted to provide some concrete numbers for context. We conducted a parking study for a suburban commercial corridor in Cuyahoga County and found more than 75% of parking spots were empty at all times. x.com/clevelandscene…

Great Lakes ice cover is at a record low for mid-February. • The below average snow and ice and unusually mild conditions are likely tied to climate change and a more transient El Niño climate pattern. trib.al/QK3k8ph

Do you know any students or recent graduates interested in exploring park careers? We post paid and unpaid internships at nps.gov/cuva/getinvolv…. We currently have two openings in community engagement and one in our archives. Details are in the link. Photo: NPS/Penny Uhlenbrock.

Yay for transforming golf courses into wild habitat, like Cuyahoga Valley NP and Cleveland Metroparks is doing! nytimes.com/2024/02/15/cli…

Great new resource for helping you select what species of trees to plant in your yard! Based on height, growth rate, sun/shade tolerance, lifespan, soil type, soil moisture, climate tolerance, stress tolerance. treeselector-clevelandmetroparks.com/tree-selector Thanks Cleveland Metroparks!

My first research experience was in a herbarium William & Mary. In fact, I got to visit and exchange specimens with many herbaria for that project. I got drawn in to the potential to study ecological history via collections and never looked back.

Great 5-minute video interview of me explaining our latest work on land use change and forest history in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. Thanks Liv Ream and CoolCleveland! youtube.com/watch?v=vt076-…

“We soon learned that far greater threat to the land lay in road-building than in logging the timber.” For the latest Smithsonian Magazine, I wrote about the history of public lands road construction and the movement to unmake our infrastructure. #roadecology smithsonianmag.com/science-nature…

Writing notes by hand is a better way to learn than typing, a whole bunch of studies now show. (Whether or not you can read the notes later is a different problem) scientificamerican.com/article/why-wr… on Scientific American

Listen for the story about our research today during Morning Edition and All Things Considered on our local NPR station, WKSU 89.7 Ideastream News. Thanks to Ida Lieszkovszky for her thorough reporting! Baldwin Wallace University ideastream.org/environment-en…

BW faculty and student researching together ~ Cuyahoga County is losing its tree cover. A new study tracks the change ideastream.org/environment-en…

Here's your friendly reminder that the best time to prune a Bradford Pear is any time your saw is sharp, and the ideal cut is horizontal and 4 inches from the ground. This is mostly for you Dr. David Coyle.

Is there a #woodwideweb? For @Nature_news I look at the science behind this idea – and how scientists working in #forestecogy, #soils and #fungi feel about popular claims that trees care for each other via a fungal network in the soil bit.ly/3PNursZ

Spread the word... All 1938 aerial photos of Cuyahoga County, Ohio are now freely available to everyone in this digital archive: libguides.bw.edu/c.php?g=1379215

My first ever opinion piece for the The Guardian! In it, I delve into the Wood Wide Web, the rise of scientific myths (including the Great Wood of Caledon), and why we should not fear difficult ideas. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Biodiversity loss is not only about extinctions It is also the degradation of ecosystems - supporting a few generalist species, with reduced food webs, & looking the same wherever you go As seen over much of the UK
