Ashley Lang (Dartmouth EEES Ph.D. candidate mentored by Jackie) led a new paper published in Ecosystems titled ‘Higher soil respiration rate beneath arbuscular mycorrhizal trees in a northern hardwood forest is driven by associated soil properties.’ In this study we measured soil respiration rates in plots of mixed arbuscular- and ecomycorrhizal-associated trees at the Hubbard Brook ExperimentalContinue reading “New paper published on soil respiration and mycorrhizae”

The Matthes EcoLab published a new paper in Ecosphere led by Eva Paradiso, Wellesley ’20, and mentored by Jackie and Fiona Jevon, a Ph.D. Candidate in the Dartmouth EEES program. Eva collected these data through an independent summer field project as part of the Harvard Forest NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates program in 2018. Through Eva’sContinue reading “Paper published in Ecosphere led by Eva Paradiso, Wellesley ’20”

Matthes is a co-PI on a new grant funded by the National Science Foundation MacroSystems Biology program, led by Brady Hardiman at Purdue University. The grant is titled ‘Incorporating canopy structural complexity to improve model forecasts of functional effects of forest disturbance’ and this research will combine LiDAR data with ecosystem modeling at a diverseContinue reading “Grant funded to link disturbance, forest structure, and ecosystem productivity”

The Matthes EcoLab has a new paper published in Forest Ecology & Management led by Fiona Jevon, a Ph.D. student from the Dartmouth EEES program who is co-advised by Jackie. Our work measured carbon in the litter, organic, and mineral layers of soil in areas with different silvicultural history in the Dartmouth College Second College Grant. WeContinue reading “New paper in Forest Ecology & Management”
