Checkout this awesome new video about our exciting work on a Northeastern States Research Cooperative funded project studying how drought and heat waves impact tree regeneration! youtube.com/watch?v=bsCYN8Ye…
Finished our overhead irrigation system! Should have some happy trees... before we stress them out in the name of science!
Two graduate positions open at UMaine. Come join our collaborative team to study the beautiful forests of the coast of Maine!

ALT Just one of the potential lunch spots during field work!
Seedlings from our 2022 #physiology study are overwintering well under the snowpack...some a bit more under than others.
ALT A fenced-in area covered in fresh snow, out of which the tops of dormant birch seedlings and a few oaks and spruces are emerging. In the background is more snow and a distant wooded area.
ALT The very tip of a tiny red spruce seedling peeks out of a snowdrift.
I am looking for a new MS student to join our research team studying how extreme climate events impact tree regeneration in the Northern Forest. Summer or fall 2023 start. Full advertisement: forest.umaine.edu/wp-content…
ALT Recent study of drought and flood impacts on cedar and fir regeneration
ALT Recent work on how drought timing impacts growth and physiology of six tree species
ALT Northern white cedar sapling in the forest
If you can't get up to the canopy, bring the canopy down to you!
#throwback to August slingshot sampling for canopy phys, where the rules are wear a hard hat and have fun (in that order).
Two years goes fast. Congratulations on graduating, Katie! You have learned a lot about how to kill trees to help us manage for more resilient forests!
Ready to plant trees next spring! Four more sites to go for our Northeastern States Research Cooperative funded project to determine how heat waves and drought impact tree regeneration across Maine!
ALT First step of a climate change experiment set up at the Newell Tree Farm in Unity, Maine.
Undergraduate field tech and @UMaine_CUGR fellow Bean has been trying their hand this summer at SEM imaging of our greenhouse seedlings. Pictured are stomata and a trichome on paper birch (left), and open stomata on a northern red oak.
