A new report by NOAA provides updated predictions on the rate of sea level rise within the United States. When coupled with extreme tides and more frequent, intense storms, rising sea level is…

A progression of non-native insects is steadily making their way into the northeast. The response of trees at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest to these insects will serve as an example for…

Researchers on the Penobscot Experimental Forest in Maine are seeking to understand how prescribed burning and timber harvesting impact a forest already affected by climate change. Take this voyage…

Researchers and farmers around the country are currently experimenting and collecting data on what crops, pollinator plants, and/or livestock situations work best with photovoltaic setups.…

It appears likely that CLT construction will prosper in the years and decades to come based on its’ capacity to cut emissions and “lock up” carbon.

Nutrient management guidelines have largely been developed to protect water quality, but practices that improve nitrogen (N) use efficiency by crops also help reduce emissions of the potent…

Rising sea levels and intense storms along the mid-Atlantic and southern New England coast are damaging and killing coastal forests. Studies document signs of stress and dieback, resulting in “ghost…

Take a closer look at how scientists use forest experiments to study forest response to extreme weather events, such as ice storms, drought, and warming. Learn about how these types of events impact…

Heavy rain events are increasing across the Northeast, which can result in more nutrient leaching on farms. At UMES, researchers are studying permeable reactive barriers. Results from the research…

Across the northeast, farmers are looking to chestnuts as a new option for their farms. As a perennial crop, chestnuts can help farmers adapt to, and mitigate, climate change while also diversifying…

Aquaculture farms are especially vulnerable to climate change as organisms and operations are continually exposed to temperature and chemical fluctuations in the ocean and air.

Borderview Farm and University of Vermont (UVM) Extension are researching the potential for growing milkweed both as an agricultural fiber crop and to conserve habitat for monarch butterflies.
