Proposed research: | |||
<li> Understanding the effects of rising temperature on the phenology (flowering and leafing-out stage) for New England taxa.</li> | |||
<li> Impact on landscape of human activity through deforestation, agriculture, and the development of human infrastructure on New England habitat. </li> | |||
<li> Intersection of climate change and land use and effects on biotic systems in New England, such as sensitivity of habitats, changes in species abundance and phenology.</li> | |||
<li> Documentation and conservation of biological diversity, including assessing the distribution of rare and endangered species, changes in species abundance over time, arrival and expansion of non-native and invasive species.</li> | |||
