Researchers are using thermal images of trees to better understand connections between tree canopy temperatures and biological processes like photosynthesis, as well as the response of trees to heat waves and droughts. 

Enhancing DEI has been a long-standing and frequent aspiration in natural resources and conservation science. Researchers examined the reasons why scholars and practitioners of natural resources seek to diversify their communities, and evaluated those reasons by developing them into formal arguments. Their findings suggest that the natural resources and conservation science community needs to be “actively engaging with diversity scholarship in other fields that can yield fresh and perhaps provocative insights.”

Based on data from the Andrews Forest, researchers found that cold‐air pooling was the norm, not the exception, under the forest canopy.

Researchers found that downstream food webs, with higher levels of omnivory, are more robust compared to upstream food webs, indicating that these complex networks can be fragile depending on the conditions of the surrounding environment.

Sixty oral histories totaling more than 160 hours of interviews of Andrews Forest researchers and staff and participants in Northwest Forest Plan formulation are now available online in the Voices of the Forests: Voices of the Mills archive in the OSU Library Special Collections and Archives Research Center.
