What’s beneath your lawn matters. Low-maintenance grass fosters a thriving underground world of beneficial soil organisms—but often at the expense of the picture-perfect lawn. Hubbard Brooker Peter Groffman contributes to this February 2025 paper published in Urban Forestry & Urban Greening. 🧪

Leaf by leaf, forests reveal their strategies for survival. Research at Hubbard Brook and elsewhere shows how trees recycle nutrients, balancing nitrogen and phosphorus to sustain growth. Open access paper by Jenna M. Zukswert, et. al. published February 21 in Oikos.

Tree roots do more than anchor forests—they influence how soils store carbon. Mycorrhizal fungi, working with evergreen and deciduous trees, shape soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics. Data from Hubbard Brook contributed to this January 2025 paper published in Ecosystems.

Decades of data from Hubbard Brook reveal an unexpected shift: red squirrels aren’t climbing to cooler elevations but moving lower, tracking recovering red spruce forests. This study highlights the complex interplay of climate, habitat, and species movement. #NewEngland #ecology 🧪

Small mammal populations rise and fall in the forests of #NewHampshire, influenced by food availability, weather, and habitat. A 30-year study shows that no single factor drives these changes, but mast production and climate patterns play a major role. [paywall] 🧪 bit.ly/4b4sFNF
