LUQ started in 1988, with support from the US National Science Foundation, UPRRP, and the IITF and studies how climate and disturbance change the environment.
As our summer comes to an end, we invite you all to join us in El Verde REU 2023 Symposium!
Our REU students will be presenting their research findings for this summer.
If you're interested in joining us via Zoom, please send us a message.

Monitoring inputs of leaf litter into streams. Vertical, lateral, and upstream inputs of leaf litter are important for the functioning of our study stream in Puerto Rico.
On the downside, there is now a major pile of litter samples accumulating in the lab!

Our latest featured data are long-term records of water quality from streams in the Luquillo Mountains of Puerto Rico by @LUQLTER & @luqczo. Studies use the data to enhance understanding of long-term dynamics in tropical forest ecosystems. More: bit.ly/3yveTR2
