Project

Interactive effects of elevated nitrogen input, climate warming and changing management on forest understorey plant dynamics

The principal purpose of this study is to determine the interactive effects of enhanced N inputs, climate warming, and management-driven forest understorey light availability on the performance of forest plants, and the composition and diversity of understorey communities. To address these research questions, we will use a database of forest plant resurveys and conduct nitrogen, temperature, and light manipulation experiments.
