Stem maps of eight 1 ha forest plots distributed around Ann Arbor, MI and around the University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS)
In this project we established a network of forest inventory plots to gather the data needed to forecast future forest performance under global change. Data collected from forest inventory plots, i.e., size and location of individual trees from...

Water chemistry data from the East Branch of the Maple River both up and downstream of the Stream Research Facility. The University of Michigan Biological Station conducts annual analyses of water quality to satisfy EPA discharge permit.
Great Lakes Coastal Waterbird Survey - Cormorant nests and Co-nester Colonies
Since the 1970’s, numbers of Double-crested Cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) have increased significantly in many regions of North America. A variety of problems, both real and perceived, have been associated with these increases, including...
Earthworm species distributions and soil properties in northern Michigan (Murchie 1954, Crumsey 2008 - 2010)
Understanding environmental factors related to exotic earthworm distributions across invasion stages (i.e., introduction, colonization, regional spread) is critical for assessing long-term impacts on previ- ously earthworm-free forests. Studies...
